John Myers has the following problem:

Warp Server /Lan server5 Installed fixpac
IP08267 for y2k compliency
Problem tried to install 8.2Gig ultra scsihd
to replace a 2.1gig Hd that was reaching full
capacity. I used Partition Magics drivpro
drive image utility which is hpfs aware.
The original disk included the following partitions
fdisk info
Dos6.2 Bootable Primary FAT 31m
WARPSRV,Bootable C:primary,HPFS 2008meg
OS2Mnt,Bootable, D:logical,HPFS 23meg
------Startable: primary ,BootMGR 7meg

The 2nd ultra Scsi disk was formatted and copied
using pq's drive image program this produced a
the same partitions as the source drive but larger
ie every partition was 4x larger
this drive would not boot when substituted for the boot
drive
I reinstalled boot mgr to the first partition of the drive
this time the boot mgr menu booted and I could boot to the
dos partition but not the os2 partition
I thought the fixpac solved the problem of greater than 2gig limit of os2
ibm os2 base operating syslevel is xr03005
fdisk for 2nd drive yeilds
BootMgr active ,7.0meg primary
C:msdos FAT None 204meg primary
Os2 hidden HPFS 7792.2 primary
Which fix pac is supposed to support larger than2.1gig
partiotion
thanks
John
