| subject: | [OS2HW] Plain warp 4 GA |
Replying to a message of Kris Steenhaut to All: KS> I'm changing mail with someone only having a plain Warp 4 CD GA (thus KS> 1994 or so) KS> - He told me he has installed OS/2 in the past onto a 20 Giga disk at KS> partition E: KS> - He tried to install to a new partition C: an OS/2 system for KS> testing. KS> - After that he couldn't boot to his partition E: anymore, can't KS> install to C: and the bootmanager shows nothing as installable nor KS> startable. Running fdisk (from disks he told me) results in nothing KS> been saved KS> - What I am wondering is: at a 20 Giga disk, Warp 4 GA must have KS> troubles with the 1024th cylinder boundery, or do I have that wrong? That's probably it. I ran into a similar problem trying to install Warp 4 GA as a backup boot partition on a machine that uses LVM to manage the large IDE drives. That won't work and I didn't try to force it. Instead I used Warp 4.51, which I also have, for that backup boot partition (the machine's main boot partition is Warp 4.52). --- FleetStreet 1.19+* Origin: Bob's Boneyard, Emerson, Iowa (1:2905/3) SEEN-BY: 633/267 5030/786 @PATH: 2905/3 14/0 5 140/1 123/500 379/1 633/267 |
