I had the same problem several years ago. It seems that the installer for Win16 doesn't recognize drives larger than (nn) MB. I solved the problem so I copied WINOS2 directory from my old PC to the new installation.

Correct. 2GB - or inotherwords, the FAT limit. I think due to the overflow that cuases the issue, certain size partitions may not experience the problem - but obviously thats not related to this particular scenario. ;)

Melf's solution is the workaround for your general problem, but IIRC, you should not need to install any SB16 drivers for WinOS2. SB16 support should automatically be installed when the native OS/2 drivers are installed in every version of Warp upwards. If you are not using the IBM provided drivers, I'd suggest installing the latest ones of those. IIRC (again), that will allow better resource and hardware usage as less - if any - direct hardware access will be required for sound in the WinOS2 session... but it's been a while, so my memory on this might be a bit flakey.

Well here's another brain teaser for you. I just repartitioned the disk so now I have OS/2 installed within a 2GB HPFS partition. However, despite the installers for DOS and Windows 3.x apps now seeing the disk, I now have a new problem. The sound card is a Sound Blaster 16 PnP ISA model, but whenever I try and install the drivers for it provided by Creative in Win-OS/2, the Drivers panel complains and says the driver files are "missing". Is this because the DOS installer didn't take into account that OS/2 won't honor certain modifications to SYSTEM.INI or pass them on to Win-OS/2? I'm not sure how to proceed here, aside from using the rather limited Sound Blaster 1.5 driver included with Win-OS/2.


Thanks,

Hello guys:

 So I have been messing around with eComStation 2.0 and I happen to have a problem on my hands. For whatever reason, whether I attempt to install a 16-bit Windows app or a software driver, I either get an error saying I have no disk space or that a disk has not been found. Here is a screenshot of my attempt to install Sound Blaster 16 drivers (Win 3.x) for illustrative purposes...



So what the heck could be going on? I'm confused here. Thanks for the help!
