│ 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 !!! │ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ >>> !!! Reboot IMMEDIATELY using Control+Alt+Del !!! <<< │ │

│ │
│ 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! │

Good luck - [Very big and nasty grin] you'll need it.
