- │ Problems: │
- │ │
- │ The first time you boot from the newly created system, │
- │ sometimes only a skeleton WPS shows up. │
- │ │
- │ How do you recover ? │
- │ ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │
- │ │ >>> !!! Reboot IMMEDIATELY using Control+Alt+Del !!! <<< │ │
- │ │ │ │
- │ │ !!! Do NOT perform an orderly shut down !!! │ │
- │ │ !!! Do NOT make any changes to the WPS !!! │ │
- │ │ !!! Do NOT press the RESET button !!! │ │
- │ │ !!! Do NOT power off !!! │ │
- │ │ │ │

- │ Make sure your OS2*.INI files are in a healthy condition. │
- │ Run eg. Henk Kelder's Checkini /C twice or more before copying. │
- ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
- │ One problem I have had reported is that if in your Autoexec.Bat you │
- │ have the statement Comspec= or SET Comspec= the Initedit.Exe will not │
- │ work correctly. Comment it out like this: ::Comspec= or ::SET Comspec= │
- │ until you have finished copying (:: is the same as Rem, but quicker) │
- │ │
- │ Normally you do not need the Comspec statement, a Shell= statement in │
- │ in Config.Sys is sufficient. │
- ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
- │ If the the OS/2 copy does not show a WPS when you boot from it, │
- │ check your original WPS and folders. │
- │ All drive letters in folder and icon names and paths in the icons' │
- │ program names MUST be upper case! │
- ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
- │ There used to be problems, if you copied a HPFS system FROM E: K: or L: │
- │ The problem was located to the line │
- │ IFS=x:\OS2\HPFS.IFS /CACHE: /CRECL: /AUTOCHECK: │
- │ ^^ ^^ ^^ │
- │ AFAIK this has been fixed in the present release. │

- │ If you copy from a system with high resolution monitor + video card │
- │ to a system with low resolution monitor + video card or from color to │
- │ mono (black and white) you are in trouble. │
- │ Oh well, not really: │
- │ Boot from floppy. │
- │ Go to new system drive, CD OS2 │
- │ Have Display Driver diskettes ready. │
- │ Run SetVGA.CMD │
- │ That's it! │
