Reece Cambra has the following problem:
Hi there all. I've got a bit of a
problem with Warp 4.0 and the
installation of said product. I've had a
6.4 Gb hard drive for a couple of years
now and I have fallen behind in terms of
software upgrades, particularly the
install floppies. I've browsed IBM's
Device Driver site for clues on how to
update the floppies so that Warp can
install. I've tried their updated driver
for hard disks bigger than 4.3Gb, but
the installer just hangs after it has
copied the system files to the hard disk
and then tries to reboot to continue
installation. That idea has now been
exhausted several times. My hard disk
partitions go something like this:-
Partition 1: FAT-16 830Mb
Partition 2: FAT-32 2.00Gb
(contained in an extended partition)
The rest of the extended partition is
free space and isn't being used as yet.
I've got the CD drive as primary master,
the hard disk as primary slave. I've got
an LS-120 drive (not hooked up yet) as
the secondary master device, and I've
disconnected it because of Warp needing
to use my 1.44 floppy for installation
use. Now, out of all this, can anyone
give me an idea of what to do to get
Warp to install itself on its own
partition in that free space that I
mentioned because I've torn my hair out
(literally) trying to do so. IBM's
updated hard disk driver seems to do
what it's told but then does a shifty
on me and locks the darn system up,
and it hasn't even started to install
the rest of itself properly! So I'm
needing a hand here of sorts. If
anyone's been able to do it with a big
hard disk, would you be able to make me
a copy of the install floppies so that I
can try for myself? Just let me know if
you need an address or so. Would that be
alright or not? If not, just some advice
would be gratefully appreciated. Thank
you for whatever you can do. CYA!!!
