Sounds like time to post a message in the OS/2 echo to find out what went 
wrong.  In the meantime, boot up your system off of the installation disks 
until you get to the first screen where F3=Command Prompt appears.  If you 
are using the CD-ROM change directories to ..\DISK_3. If you are using disks 
(why?) then insert Disk 3 in the drive you booted the system from.  Then type 
in
FORMAT x: /fs:hpfs /l (I assume that you are using HPFS).  x: is replaced 
with the drive you want to format.  This will cause a Long Format to take 
place where the drive is checked and cleared.  Some problems disappear with 
this, and most "bad" drives fail a long format as all of the HOTFIX sectors 
get used and the drive cannot provide anymore.
