THE HARD DRIVE HAS TO BE PRIMARY MASTER
RJF

>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!!!
