Hard disk size is the problem here. Make a partition of less than 2.4 gb
and leave the rest of the disk as free space. Install OS2 on the partition
and get it running, then, use OS2 to partition the rest of the disk into
2.4 gb partitions and format them as HPFS with OS2. I only use the first C:
partition for the OS2 itself, the BBS is on D: mail on E: and files on the
rest of the partitions. This is on a Compaq deskpro 4000 (P1 166 machine)
with a 20gb drive and a stock standard (no updates) OS2 warp4 installation.
