OSR-2 and FAT32
From there, we'll do some DELTREE-ing, some outright DEL-eting, and a lot of REN-aming ... and, once we're done, we get to reinstall Windows. Copying the file from another machine is not going to help you. Howzabout this one: "Say ... I just formatted my hard drive and I've booted off the Windows '95 Startup

Another note about 98SE, It found all they system devices, something that 98 fails to do on a fresh install. All, right, getting to the meat and potatos. Its was conflicting with the memory address of the Hard Drive controller and the secondary IDE channel. Setting the resources manually was tricky.

Making a Redhat5.1 Install CD
Well, as I said, it is not really compatible with the install environment. The kernel wd driver finds my controller and the harddrive, but the installer says I have another FreeBSD system that I use as a workstation. I used it to build a kernel for the boot flop that would stop in the fd driver ( while(1) i++;

signal call failing on 10.1?
Or why I can no longer read my install diskette 1 where I REM'd it out. (see prior note). Also same hang with flashpt.sxp from my utility disks (thankfully I did make them). I suppose when I'm really brave.. make another fresh sets or copy util disk 1 to harddrive and copy back to a new floppy so have backup and

instalation woes
Another advantage of Live CD's is that it is more difficult to break things, after rebooting the Live CD you will have a completely fresh system. Not only that but Knoppix can be installed on the hard drive if required. This is great for an easy Debian install. Best regards, Ruari Callow These knoppix topics

So use the disk drive LED, dammit
Look at HDD manufacturer's web sites - for most HD brands, there are disk managers available for D/L'ing, together with documentation, uninstall instructions etc. I have an ISA multi-controller (not installed). Would it be possible to use it to install additional hard disks and/or floppy drives provided drive

What does FP2 fix?
After rather little thought, I realised of course, that I have gdb installed on another harddrive, which is mounted while I'm in 10.1 anyway. It took a little chroot'ing, but I was able to run gdb without installing the Dev Tools for 10.1. Nonetheless, I actually found the reason for the exit with gdb.

Anaconda error at installation.
... master should be on the black (last) connector the slave on the grey Yep, yep and yep. There is nothing wrong with the connections. The Seagate diag proggie detects, tests and passes the drive, its only the f&*$ing controller freezing while attempting to autodetect the drive. Thanx for the response Stewbaby.

OS5 Sucks!
Another mentioned hard drive diagnostic and Memtest86 for memory.

Error during directory enumeration
to allow me to install the 2nd HDD? If not, what do I need to do? Once the slave disk is installed, how to I go about fdisk-ing it and assigning a drive letter? (I also have a DVD/CD-R drive and a CD-RW drive installed) I do not want to install an OS on the slave hard disk, I want to use it for file storage.

Thank you Bill Gates/Microsoft. It happens to us all. Let me ...
My point is, for your "most users" group it's a thoroughly non-trivial exercise to install a new hard drive and successfully transfer the OS, If the user was so f'ing rich, maybe they'd just buy a new machine w/o considering how to improve their current one. and risk destabilizing their system There is more

Warp II Install problem
3. shutdown computer and open case 4. install NEW harddrive as MASTER and OLD harddrive as SLAVE (yes, before copying) 5. boot computer and set bios, then continue AND, you forgot to mention Fdisk-ing the new drive, as well.

A happy new LX6 owner....and questions to O/C'ing experts
I haven't touched an IDE drive in about 5 years (all SCSI here), but if the BIOS doesn't detect and set up the hard drive correctly, that's another reason that You need to solve that problem first before you try re-installing Win95. Whatever is causing Format to fail may be related to your crashes in Win95.

Cloning a Linux System for HD replacement
SYS file located on DISK1 is loading the correct driver for your hard drive. In my case I had to add the file [PTI1S1506.ADD] in place of IBMS1506. I booted 2.11 (on another partition) and found the WARP ibm1s506.add under X:\OS2\BOOT. Copied the promise driver over that one too and the install proceeded fine.
