This relates to the limitations of the version (& fixpak level) of your copy 
of OS/2 that fixes limits to 2gb / 4gb (can't remember what one). I would 
suggest if it is important, i.e., you are also having problems with larger 
HDD etc, that you, 1. Backup your system then, 2. Update to the latest fixpak 
(15/16) for Warp v4 etc. If you are not using Warp v3 or v4, check what 
fixpaks are available and see what ones fix the HDD limitations on size.
