Well, Grandvide. This is easy.
The 2 drives on Channel B are now blank and ready to go. First thing to do, is to run fdisk from a command prompt or fdiskpm from the WPS. Use all the drive as a single partition or break them up into chunks. Your choice.After fdisk is complete, you will have to reboot, so the new drive letters take effect.
After OS/2 is back up, you still can not use them. You have to format the new partitions.
Open a command prompt and format them. I use the following for my SCSI drives:
FORMAT x: /FS:HPFS /V:x_HPFS /L
If you need the other parameters, just type format /? to see the quick list or 'help format' for more information.
After the format, they are ready to go. Enjoy.l
Hope this helps.

Thanks Grim. You confirmed what I thought I had to do. For a while I was unable to format the third drive using fdisk. It turns out that I probably partitioned it to the wrong size. When I redid the partition to a size of 2047MB it worked perfectly. I guess there is some sort of size restriction that OS/2 can use at one time??? (The drive is a 2gig drive, just a few megs over 2,047mb anyways -so that the free space is barely anything..)
I haven't been able to figure this out yet, but it looks like fdisk can only see three hard drives, since I originally llf'ed the drives on channel b. That fourth drive isn't there. I'm hoping that I didn't kill the drive. The SCSI Bios shows that it is there, so I'm in the process of formatting it again to see if that works. Any other ideas?
Thanks!!
