To say again: To *MOVE* move the *.ini files, EA etc to another partition, move by using the objects in the drives object. In order to update automagically the *.ini files. If everything has been *MOVED* that way to the new partition, you can't have a boot still. So in order to *COPY* the systemfiles, AND THE SYSTEMFILES ONLY, use: xcopy x:\ f:\ /h /o /t /e /r /v And after having altered the file config.sys, you must able to boot from the new partition, on condition some kind of bootmanager points to it. VPart is the handy tool here. -- Groeten uit Gent, Kris 2============================================== From: "Ian Manners" Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2001 01:21:41 +1000 (EST) Subject: Re: [os2genau] IDE to SCSI Hi Kris >> You forgot the /s as in HOTSERV /h/o/t/s/e/r/v ;-) >Defenitely not!!! >On the contrary, when the /s switch would be added, the entire operation will be >jeopardized!!!

Yes, you are correct, I didnt read your's and others original posts in there entirety, so I didnt realise it was a) to a different drive, and b) system files only so as not to stuff the ea's and new drive reassignments.

Upgrade the Win98 box to NT, 2000 or OS/2 :) Unfortunately, the networking in Win9x/ME sees OS/2 networking as not understanding long file names. It's something to do with the NETBIOS version that OS/2 tells Windows it's using. I found the following earlier this year (I think it was in an old Voice newsletter, but I'm not sure). I tried it, on one of my systems, but it didn't work. ---------------------------- Yes, but it's fairly ugly. Win9x exports the short names to OS/2 because OS/2 advertizes itself as supporting only an older version of the NetBIOS protocol (LM10). Unfortunately, if you tell OS/2 to support the newer protocol (NB30) the NetBIOS drivers won't load. Or wouldn't as of Warp 4 with no Peer fixpaks applied, at least. Workaround: copy \IBMLAN\IBMLAN.INI to \IBMLAN.W9X in IBMLAN.W9X, change all occurrences of LM10 to NB30 boot without starting requester CD \IBMLAN REN IBMLAN.INI IBMLAN.OS2 REN IBMLAN.W9X IBMLAN.INI NET START PEER REN IBMLAN.INI IBMLAN.W9X REN IBMLAN.OS2 IBMLAN.INI (You could conceivably add the above to NETSTCMD.CMD (IIRC) and let the requester start at boot, instead.) This should cause Peer to advertize NetBIOS 3.x compatibility, enabling long file names. ---------------------------- -- David Forrester davidforatterrigal dot net dot au http://www.os2world dot com/djfos2/
