Utilities / OS2 Boot HDD backup
2011.05.17, 08:32:42
Hi

I have purchased a PC for an industrial application which runs OS/2 Warp 4.00 with no CDs or floppies with an old hard disk. The PC Works OK and the file system is FAT, but I need to create a backup bootable HDD. I have tried this using DriveXML (on XP) which usually works for me on other OSs in tricky situations but the copy doesn't boot.

My research on the web suggests using the sysinstx to put the boot stuff on the copy, but sysinstx.com isn't on the HDD, nor is the "create utility diskettes" able to find files.

Can I get sysinstx.com and any other files it needs from somewhere to make this backup HDD boot, or is there another way ?

Thanks in advance.
