| I'm using version OS/2 Warp version 4. I'm also using updated install disks that I found on the IBM web site. I have tried both the standard virtual disk (expanding) and fixed size virtual disk (allocatted physical disk space), but still get the same error. |

| Maybe check out the article on www.os2voice.org. They have a review with screen shots. |

| thanks I checked the site and there was some good info there. But they installed OS/2 from an iso image while I was trying to install a fresh copy from install disks and the CD. After trying somethings, I did find that if I pressed <alt-f1> on the install and went to the command prompt and created a partition, I could then restart the install process and OS/2 installed with no issues. Thanks for your responses |
