Spake Harry,



I used dfsee to relabel the volumes I had in place for backup in the event
of the HDD failure I had yesterday. The backups had been to an old slow
SCSI drive.

And I used LVM to relabel those volumes and bring new ones on board, which
I created on a new 7200RPM IDE drive.

Yes LVM is not the best-designed semi-gui interface to the command line
program that is underneath. (It is, for example, so easy to forget to press
F6, as instructed 2 steps earlier to seal the deal) 

But, without volumes to address, the mixed scsi and ide HDD environment
here would be impossible to manage in a crisis. JvW is doing a fine job of
building scripts and gui interfaces to manage HIS command line app.

        About:Re: [OS2HW] Help Installing w/o LVM
Hello
  OK I've got updated diskette set with new Danis506, DanisAtapi,
DanisDASD and OS2LDR and have altered them to stop LVM and VCU and load
the new drivers as well as give my cdrom a drive letter.  I used an
updated W4 final diskette for Fdisk and thereby installed new IBM BMgr
and made it "startable".  I'm happy with the drive letter assignments
(OS/2 desired partition is now "D") but I cannot set it installable.  I
have DFSee but it is so powerful and so wide that it could take me a
week, being new to it, to figure out how to use it to set the partition
installable, and I'm not certain that is essential anyway.

 So my question is/are

    Firstly, can I launch an install from the CD now that I can access
it which will allow me to format the partition, now unformatted, to
HPFS and proceed?

    or 

 Must I first format outside the install set, such as with old PQMagic
or new DFSee, before continuing?

  and 

 in either case which command starts the install process as if it had
satisfied LVM?

Thanks
Jimmy
