OSINUPGD - OS/2 WARP UPGRADE EDITION FOR OS/2 2.1 AND 2.11
03/06/96
=======================================================================
OS/2 Warp Upgrade Edition for OS/2 2.1 and 2.11
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedure
-------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
This document contains information for OS/2 2.1 and OS/2 2.11 users who
are installing the OS/2 Warp Upgrade Edition.
RESOLUTION
For these procedures, you need your OS/2 2.1 or OS/2 2.11 diskettes.
If you do not have these diskettes, you need to create Utility Diskette
1 before continuing.
Note: Make sure you have a backup copy of any file you intend to change.
Creating Utility Diskette 1
---------------------------
1. Use DISKCOPY to copy OS/2 Warp Diskette 1 to a 1.44 MB diskette.
The 1.44 MB diskette is now Utility Diskette 1.
2. Delete the file, BUNDLE, from Utility Diskette 1.
3. Copy UHPFS.DLL and FORMAT.COM from OS/2 Warp Diskette 2 to Utility
Diskette 1.
Note: 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 Utility Diskette 1.
If Utility Diskette 1 does not have enough space for these files,
delete DEL.LST and SIPANEL1.DLL from the diskette.
If you still need more space on Utility Diskette 1, delete the
following files:
AHA*.ADD
SONY*.ADD
MI*.ADD
LMS*.ADD
AIC*.ADD
FD*.ADD
4. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file on Utility Diskette 1, as follows:
If Installing OS/2 from diskettes:
----------------------------------
Change: SET OS2_SHELL=SYSINST2.EXE
To: SET OS2_SHELL=CMD.EXE
If Installing OS/2 from a CD:
-----------------------------
Change: 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 have deleted the AHA*.ADD,
SONY*.ADD, MI*.ADD, AIC*.ADD, FD*.ADD, and LMS*.ADD files, remove
the corresponding BASEDEV=AHA*, SONY*, MI*, AIC*, FD*, and LMS*.ADD
statements from the CONFIG.SYS file on Utility Diskette 1.
Repartitioning the Hard Disk before Installing OS/2 Warp Upgrade Edition
------------------------------------------------------------------------
To repartition your hard disk before installing OS/2 Warp Upgrade
Edition:
1. Insert the OS/2 2.1, OS/2 2.11, or OS/2 Warp Installation Diskette in
drive A.
2. Turn on the computer, or press Ctrl+Alt+Del if it is already on.
3. When prompted, remove the Installation Diskette and insert the OS/2
2.1 or OS/2 2.11 Diskette 1, or Utility Diskette 1, and press Enter.
Note: If you use Utility Diskette 1, go to step 5.
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 to repartition the drive.
After you repartition the drive, you must format it.
Note: If you want to format for 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 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:
* For FAT, type FORMAT x: /FS:FAT and press Enter.
* For HPFS, type FORMAT x: /FS:HPFS and press Enter.
where 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 startable DOS diskette, you can start 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
-----------------------
If you repartitioned and formatted the hard disk before installing OS/2
Warp Upgrade Edition and the installation stopped with a red screen and
a message, or if you were reinstalling OS/2 Warp Upgrade Edition and the
installation stopped with a red screen and the following message:
A specific version of the OS/2 operating
system must be present on the hard disk.
You must create an \OS2\INSTALL directory in the partition where you
want to install OS/2 Warp, and reinstall OS/2 Warp.
Note: You need Utility Diskette 1 for this procedure.
If you have the 2.1 or 2.11 Installation Diskette, or the OS/2 Warp
Installation Diskette and Utility Diskette 1, do the following:
1. Insert the OS/2 2.1, OS/2 2.11, or OS/2 Warp Installation Diskette

2. Turn on the computer, or press Ctrl+Alt+Del if it is already on.
3. When prompted, remove the Installation Diskette and insert the OS/2
2.1, or OS/2 2.11 Diskette 1, or Utility Diskette 1 in drive A and
press Enter.
Note: If you use Utility Diskette 1, go to step 5.
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 (x is the
drive letter of the drive where you want to install OS/2
Warp).
6. To create the \OS2\INSTALL directory, type MD OS2\ and
press Enter.
