subject: DOS from Drive A: problem

I've been having a problem with OS/2 Warp that I haven't
been able to solve.  I've been trying to get help from
IBM since November 1994 but they just keep giving me
generic help faxes that do not help at all.  IBM has not
been able to tell me what the problem is.  I spoke with
IBM several times and the tech person keeps telling me
it's a 2.88 floppy problem but I keep telling them that
I don't have a 2.88 floppy.  It's a 1.44 floppy on drive
A: and then IBM says it's not their problem.

Has anyone else had this problem when using the
"DOS from Drive A:" icon to boot DOS?  It will not work
on my system because of the following error it gives me.
I have faxed this information to IBM but they still can
not tell me what the problem is and rather me go to a
1-900 line.  I did, and they still gave no solution or
even know what the problem is.  Any help from anyone
would be appreciated, thanks!               Km.
