M.K.Venkatesh has the following problem:
My company is moving all PC's towards P2/P3 machines from the older Pentium-100's. The new PC's have HDD's of 6GB and above as compared to the old PC's which have 1 GB. We use OS/2 Warp 3 based machines running Talkthru as Communications Gateways. When I was trying to install OS/2 Warp 3.0 on these new machines I get the error at the second diskette saying that there is insufficient Disk Space to install OS/2. The PC has no other s/w on it.
Initially I tried 2 GB/2GB/2GB partitions using DOS 6.22. Later I trie 1GB/2GB/2GB/1GB and still the sameresults. I then tried to install OS/2 on a raw 6B partition and the OS/2 FDISK program reports that there is a problem with the Partition Table.
I then tried to resize the cluster from 8K per cluster to 2K per cluster.I was still not successful.
Is it possible to install OS/2 Warp 3.0 on a largs HDD? If so what are the steps I have to take. I do'nt mind using either HPFS or FAT 16.
Best Regards,
Venkatesh
