Hardware / Advice needed please
« on: 2007.09.19, 22:32:08 »
Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and to OS/2 so please go easy on me :-)

I have an IBM PC750 running OS/2 Warp from a 1 gig hard drive.  I am trying to clone the drive to a newer 3 gig drive for preventative measure due to the age of the current drive.  The new drive is good as it checks out with Spinrite.  The clone is successful, but when I install the new drive it boots to "OS/2 !! SYS03147" Which after some searching I find to mean the os2ldr.msg file is invalid.

How can this be?  Is it possible the OS/2 installation is dependent on the drive geometry and thus will not work on a new drive with different cyl/head/sectors than the installation drive?  Otherwise I cannot guess why a clone would not work.

Thanks for any info!

Gary
