TITLE

Hard Disk to Hard Disk Installation

DESCRIPTION

If you have the CD-ROM version of OS/2 Warp and your CD-ROM drive is currently unsupported by OS/2; or if you have DOS installed on your system and it recognizes your CD-ROM, you can use the following procedure.

RESOLUTION

Hard Disk to Hard Disk Installation

1. Start your system from DOS.

2. Make a temporary directory called TEMP; type MD TEMP and
   press Enter.

3. Type

   XCOPY X:\os2image\*.* /S C:\TEMP and press Enter.

   where:
   X: is the CD-ROM drive, and
  C: is a drive that contains enough disk space to place
     the images and OS/2.

   Note: size = 35 or 525 and X: is the CD-ROM drive letter.

4. To create the installation diskette and diskette 1, type
   the following and press Enter.

   X:\makedsks

5. This creates an Installation Diskette, followed by Diskette 1.
   After the new DISK1 is created, press Ctrl+Break.
   
Note: If you are installing OS/2 Warp 4, press Ctrl+Break 
          after creating DISK2 instead of DISK1.

6. Edit the CONFIG.SYS on the new DISK1.

   Change: SET OS2_SHELL=SYSINST2.EXE
  To:     SET OS2_SHELL=SYSINST2.EXE C:\TEMP

   Save and Exit the file.

7. You can start the installation if you have the following:

   - Installation Diskette
  - DISK1 Diskette
  - Diskette images in the TEMP directory on the hard disk

   Insert the OS/2 Installation Diskette in drive A: and restart
  your system.

8. Insert DISK1 when prompted and continue the installation.
