thank you much, did the same in november 2023 but lost this reference among the posts/reply

Most probable reason for your issue is using an old BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD which had a small partition size limit. Later versions corrected this and Dani's driver always had no small drive limit
Hi mauro
Copy danis506.add and daniatap.flt to [BootDrive]:\os2\boot
Open [BootDrive]:\config.sys and add the following 2 lines
BASEDEV=DANIS506.ADD /!BIOS
BASEDEV=DANIATAP.FLT
then REM the start of these lines if they exist
BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD
BASEDEV=IBMATAPI.FLT
BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT
Save config.sys
Reboot
Test DFSee

It's a drop in replacement. Find your BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD, rem it and add a line right after BASEDEV=DANIS506.add along with any parameters that IBM1S506.ADD had.
I notice my config.sys has BASEDEV=DANIS506.ADD /!BIOS
Hi mauro,
One other thing you might try is to delete the DFSee partition then run xfix and or checkini with the parameters /C /H /T Doing that will remove a lot of useless info from the ini files.
Hi mauro
Might be worth simply deleting the contents of the dfsee directory and then unzipping(?) the latest version into that directory.
What the error seems to be saying is that the loaded disk driver IBM1S506.ADD does not understand whatever command from dfsee. When starting dfsee it seems that disk(s) get read for partition info so that is probably the failing bit. Strange...
What version (how old) is the IBM1S506.ADD in use? - might be worth trying danis506 as I recall that overcame some of the early IBM1S506 deficiencies.

If you're able to edit config.sys you could have chkdsk running on the next boot.
The following is from the IBM help-file:
The OS/2 operating system runs the CHKDSK program with the /F option to correct any problem caused by improper system shutdown. Each time you format a drive for the High Performance File System, the operating system updates the IFS statement in the CONFIG.SYS file with the appropriate AUTOCHECK parameter.
If you place a plus sign (+) in front of any drive letter, the drive will be checked every time the system is started.
Assume the following statement appears in the CONFIG.SYS file:
IFS=C:\OS2\HPFS.IFS /C:64 /AUTOCHECK:D+EF
Each time it starts, the operating system checks drives D, E, and F. If necessary, it runs the CHKDSK program on drives D and F. CHKDSK will always be run on drive E.

Did you totally remove the old version before you installed v17? What you are describing sounds as if there are parts of the old version still around especially if you installed it in the previous dir.
Delete the DFSee directory, run clean ini and or xfix, then install the new version. That is what I do when installing newer versions of existing programs it prevents old information being carried over.
Hi Mauro
I guess you can:
a) Get the CD-ROM images of Warp 4.52. Boot from the CD, press F3 on the installer and run checkdisk to the hard drive.
or
b) Generate the maintenance images from you VirtualBox image. Mount a Disk1.img empty image as a diskettes and create the diskette from the Maintenance Tool, and go through all the disk. Then boot VBox with the DISK1.IMG mounted and got to the command propmt and checkdisk from there. (Image attached)
or
c) Mount the "dirty" vdi image on a different OS/2 VM as as secondary disk, boot the image and run checkdisk from there to the second hard drive.
Make a copy of the VDI using the host operating system.
Add the copy to your Virtual Machine
OS/2 will mount the 2nd C: drive, but LVM will assign another drive letter.
Chkdsk the second drive using the assigned letter.
