Setup & Installation / Re: Warp 4 boot issue (country.sys) with 2nd hard drive

Hey TC,
I think Dave is right on the money, OS/2 is probably getting confused about the drives and what drive letters are being assigned to them.
Here is another suggestion, I think this should work since the functionality I am about to describe was introduced with Warp4. Using the LVM manager you will be able to assign a drive letter to a disk partition. Now, there have always been problems between OS/2 and other OSes, mostly Windows stuff, where the OS/2 assignments would occasionally get messed up. Still, on my machine I have a total of 3 drives, with multiple partitions each...regardless, my OS/2 boot partition is drive G:\, works without any problems. Once assigned, that letter never goes away from within OS/2...so if you flag a partition as C:\, it will remain that within OS/2.
Be carefull of course, the last thing you want to do is to completely lock yourself out...having a maintenance boot partition goes a long way to helping out with such issues though.
...The system has 2 drives in it and OS/2 Warp v4 (14.062_W4) is installed on a SCSI drive. That drive has other OSes on it and Partition Magic's Boot Magic controls what boots...
