Hello everyone, I trust your enjoying this spring weather.
First the equipment:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:R32IBM Thinkpad R32 > 2658 > BPU
P4-M 1.6 GHz Processor
512 Meg Ram
40 Gig Hard Drive
Swappable UltraBay Plus CDRom - Floppy
Software:
OS/2 Warp 4 Blue Box including
OS/2 CD
Device Driver Pak 1.0 CD
Application Sampler CD
Installation Disk
Diskette 1
Diskette 2
plus assorted extra software and literature.
My quest is to install this package on the system stated above.
Why? For the challenge, maybe. To be different? Sure!
If you know this system you already know the problem.
I can make any disk with all the latest fixes and suggestions and still get stuck
at the same point.
Swapping the Floppy Drive for the CDDrive
Installation Disk works
Updated (from the IBM site) Diskette 1 works
Diskette 2 works but leaves the message about not finding OS2CDrom ( and thats true because the drive
is not in the system at the same time the floppy is)
When asked to insert the CDRom I reach the deadend and can't go on.
I have 2 USB ports 1.1
Is it possible to copy the CD contents to a USB Flash Drive and direct the installation to load
the USB Drivers(USBUHCD.SYS, USBD.SYS and USBMSD.ADD) and look for the CD files on the
USB Flash Drive to continue the Installation?
I've been trying different methods for weeks, including the methods from
http://xenia.sote.hu/~kadzsol/rexx/sajat/updcd.htmand still no luck.
Thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks
Peter
