I did look in the archives >but did not find anything . I have not run into this, but installing OS/2 Warp on a system with a large hard drive is a known problem. Fortunately there is a fix available. Basically, you need to update some drivers on the Installation Diskette 1 for the Warp install. See: http://ftp.software.ibm.com/os2ddpak/html/os_2comp/installa/ and go to the link: Greater Than 8.4GB IDE Hardfile Support The instructions for installing this fix are found at: http://ftp.software.ibm.com/os2ddpak/html/19990107094500_0000023075_README_TXT.html (README.TXT from the parts log) Let me know if this works or if you have any questions about it.
