| Greetings all I have posted this on a few other forums but so far no joy, hopefully it will be different here, The system I have created three boot disks using the cdinst command i put the first diskette in my old computer turn it on The error message seems to come up within seconds of it looking at the floppy disk I don't believe it has anything to do with the below but just in case... |

| OS/2 from installation diskettes is UN-able to recognize NTFS- or FAT32 partitions !!! You need to empty your 3 GB HDD to get further !! SYS01475: The OS2BOOT file cannot be found ! Looks like your Installation Diskettes are sour !? |

| Hmmm probably a dumb question But with the cdinst command (the one that makes the three boot disks) Also the updated /replacement disks from warpdoctor there are only 2 of them do these replace the original disks 1 & 2 or 2 & 3 Sorry if the questions seem daft i am more than a little baffled thanks |

| Problem Solved I'm an idiot the third disk is the installation disk not the first one, although i had to make 2 copies of it as the first copy failed edit -- got an error though the install log was something like primary partition greater than 100Mb |

| IMO, it seems to be a problem with the diskette drive. The drive seems to be unable to read the diskette - it does not find os2boot on it (SYS01475), thus, it requests a "system diskette" (SYS020227). The HD might be innocent. I suggest checking the following: (1) It happens sometimes that a diskette created in one diskette drive cannot be read in another drive. This can happen if the geometries of the drives differ too much. I suppose you have created the diskettes in another comuper. (2) Most likely, it is not - because the error messages you have got are OS/2 error messages so that something has been read from the (first) diskette. Are you using the same diskettes all the time? cdinst should complain if they are bad but it's not always the case. (3) HP computers are known by having bags of "extras", found only on HP and required only by HP. It can happen that the loader tries to operate the diskette drive and fails - because it does it the "standard way" and not the "HP way". If it is the case then you can be out of luck. |

| Hi Nigel, CDinst creates the booting diskettes in the following sequence: 1st: the SECOND floppy 2nd: the THIRD floppy ... ... and last ... the INSTALLATION floppy !!! The correct nomenklatura in using these floppies are: Of course curious but correct ;-O A hint: |
