================================================================
OS/2 WARP UPGRADE EDITION FOR OS/2 2.1 AND 2.11
================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
----------------------------------------------------------------
The document contains information for OS/2 2.1 and 2.11 users who
are installing the OS/2 Warp Upgrade Edition. You need your OS/2
2.1 or 2.11 diskettes for these procedures.
If you do not have these diskettes, you need to create a Utility
Diskette 1 before continuing.
CREATING A UTILITY DISKETTE 1
--------------------------------
1. Use DISKCOPY to copy the OS/2 Warp Diskette 1 to a 1.44MB
diskette. The 1.44MB diskette is now the Utility diskette 1.
2. Delete the file named BUNDLE from the Utility diskette 1.
3. Copy UHPFS.DLL and FORMAT.COM from OS/2 Warp Diskette 2 to the
Utility diskette 1.
4. If you are installing OS/2 from a CD, copy UHPFS.DLL and
FORMAT.COM from the \OS2IMAGE\DISK_2 directory on the CD to
the Utility diskette 1.
If there is not enough space to copy these files to the Utility
diskette 1, delete DEL.LST and SIPANEL1.DLL from the Utility
diskette 1.
If you need more space on the Utility diskette 1, delete all
AHA*.ADD, SONY*.ADD, MI*.ADD, LMS*.ADD, AIC*.ADD, and FD*.ADD
files.
5. Modify the CONFIG.SYS on Utility diskette 1, as follows:
Installing OS/2 from diskettes, change:
From: SET OS2_SHELL=SYSINST2.EXE
To: SET OS2_SHELL=CMD.EXE
Installing OS/2 from a CD, change:
From: SET OS2_SHELL=SYSINST2.EXE
To: SET OS2_SHELL=CMD.EXE
Delete: SET OS2_SHELL=CDINST.EXE
If you are installing OS/2 from a CD and you have deleted
AHA*.ADD, SONY*.ADD, MI*.ADD, AIC*.ADD, FD*.ADD, and LMS*.ADD
files, make sure you also remove the corresponding BASEDEV=AHA*,
SONY*, MI*, AIC*, FD*, and LMS*.ADD files statement from the
CONFIG.SYS on Utility diskette 1.
REPARTITIONING THE HARD DISK BEFORE INSTALLING OS/2 WARP UPGRADE
EDITION
---------------------------------------------------------------
I need to repartition my hard disk before installing OS/2 Warp
Upgrade Edition. How do I do that?
To repartition your existing OS/2 2.1 or 2.11 hard disk,
start OS/2 2.1, or 2.11, or OS/2 Warp from a diskette using
drive A.
1. Insert the OS/2 2.1, 2.11, or OS/2 Warp installation diskette
in drive A.
2. Turn the system on or press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the
system.
3. When prompted, remove the installation diskette and insert
the OS/2 2.1, or 2.11 diskette 1, or Utility diskette 1
in drive A and press ENTER.
If you use the Utility diskette 1, skip the next step.
4. At the Installation Drive Selection screen, press F3 to go to
a command prompt.
5. At the command prompt, type A:\FDISK and follow the
instructions on the FDISK screen and repartition the drive.
After you repartition the drive, you must format the drive.
NOTE: If you want to format to HPFS, you must use OS/2.
FORMATTING THE DRIVE USING OS/2
---------------------------------
Note: You need Utility Diskette 1 for this procedure.
1. Insert the OS/2 Warp Installation diskette in drive A and
restart the system.
2. When you are prompted, insert the new Utility diskette 1 in
drive A and follow the instructions on the screen.
NOTE: Do Not Use the Original Diskette
3. When you reach the command prompt, use the appropriate command
for the file system you want to use:
- To use FAT, type:
FORMAT X: /FS:FAT and press Enter.
- To use HPFS, type:
FORMAT X: /FS:HPFS and press Enter.
X: is the drive you want to format
4. After formatting the drive, go to Reinstalling OS/2 Warp to
build the required subdirectories and continue with the OS/2
Warp installation.
FORMATTING THE DRIVE USING DOS
-------------------------------
If you have a DOS bootable diskette, you can boot the system and
format the target partition with FAT.
After formatting the drive, go to Reinstalling OS/2 Warp to build
the required subdirectories and continue with the OS/2 Warp
installation.
REINSTALLING OS/2 WARP

I repartitioned and formatted my hard drive before installing
OS/2 Warp Upgrade Edition and the installation stopped with a red
screen and a message.
I need to reinstall OS/2 Warp Upgrade Edition and the
installation stopped with a red screen and the following message:

system must be present on the hard disk."
What should I do?
To reinstall OS/2 Warp, create an \OS2\INSTALL directory in the

If you use the Utility diskette 1, skip the next step.
4. At the Installation Drive Selection screen, press F3 to
go to a command prompt.
5. At the command prompt, type X: and press Enter.
