Go to http://service.software.ibm.com/os2ddpak/html/os_2comp/installa/index.htm; then click on either
"Greater than 4.3GB IDE Hardfile Support" or "Greater than 8.4GB IDE Hardfile Support" to download
IDEDASD.EXE. This is a self-extracting file, so you may want to extract to a temporary directory; then read
the README.TXT to get directions on updating your OS/2 installation diskettes (make a copy of them and
modify the copy).
