Hi Linda!

I'm late to reply to your msg's from 1999-10-12 and 13 :

LP> Someone gave me a copy of Warp 3, Red flavour.

LP> I want to install warp 3 to the D drive on my computer with Dual
LP> Boot. But I don't want it to reformat or Fdisk anything.  Drive D
LP> is a 1 g partition. Drive C has DOS 6.22 on C & Windows 311 on E.
LP> Want to run DOS & Windows legacy programs.

My first install was also with Warp 3 red box and Dual Boot above DOS
and Win 3.1.  I could install Warp on the same C: drive, and it
worked. But I was annoyed because the Dual Boot install gave a very
strong shake to my Windows directory. It looked like after a
hurricane... but it worked, at least untill I tried something new in
Win3.1 to use CD-ROMs. My advice, if you have to install with Dual
Boot: make a full backup of the Windows dir. Then, try even a full
copy in another dir and play switching dir names between WINDOWS and
something like SWIN. (A year later, I upgraded my PC and buyed a new
HD I could partition freely with a Boot Manager partition).

LP> Want to know what best way to prep for the install.  Also want a
LP> good bootmanager that will run off a floppy.  Will the Warp boot
LP> manager work on a floppy? I have 2 HDs & want to put OS2 on the
LP> primary of D drive. The manual isn't very forthcoming.

With a new HD, I had 2 HD's, one empty. I used Warp FDISK to
partition it with a Boot Manager partition, a C: partition for
DOS-Win, a C: partition for OS/2, and several partitions for
utilities, applications, data... Yes, I reinstalled Win on both the
C: partitions, but I installed Warp only above one. Then, I put every
DOS and Win utilities/apps on E:, F:,... so they can be shared
between DOS-Win and OS/2. Of course, every partition is FAT16, that's
the price.

LP> Have a SCSI CD-ROM & ZIP disk & a parallel Syquest Sparq.  Will
LP> the install see these or do I have to have the DOS drivers in the
LP> DOS autoexec.bat & config.sys.

No DOS driver can be used with OS/2. Check if your SCSI adapter is in
the standard list for Warp 3. Parallel devices are known as no-go.
