OS2MAKIN - MAKEINI TO RESTORE/BACKUP DESKTOP 10/19/94 ================================================================ MAKEINI TO RESTORE/BACKUP DESKTOP ================================================================ Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures ---------------------------------------------------------------- This document contains the following instructions: Arranging Icons on Desktop Special Considerations Prior to MAKEINI Recovering the INI files - 2 ways to recover Backup, Restore, and Replacing of Desktop Rebuilding the existing Desktop -------- Method 1 Temporary or Dummy INI Restoration ----- Method 2 Reverting to original Desktop ---------- Method 3 Recreating the INI files --------------- Method 4 Restoring the INI on a ValuePoint ------ Method 5 Workaround for WPS Cannot be located after installing Recovering LAN and Extended Service Icons ARRANGING ICONS ON DESKTOP: To alphabetically ARRANGE your DESKTOP: 1. Click the right mouse button once to display the pop-up menu. 2. Select ARRANGE. 3. Display the pop-up menu again. 4. Select REFRESH, and do a proper SHUTDOWN. If you manually move icons on your DESKTOP and want the icons to stay where you have placed them: 1. Display the pop-up menu. 2. Select REFRESH, and do a SHUTDOWN. This ensures the icons remain where you placed them. To do a SHUTDOWN: 1. Close all application. 2. Display the pop-up menu. 3. Select SHUTDOWN, if prompted, select Yes to close applications SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS PRIOR TO MAKEINI NOTE: It is very important to read this entire document before selecting the correct procedure for your system. There are different procedures to MAKEINI. Review the following considerations before doing MAKEINI: 1. It is recommended you run CHKDSK to try and recover your hard disk from errors BEFORE you MAKEINI. 2. If you have one of the following video cards or chipset, it is recommended to return to VGA mode prior to MAKEINI. IBM ValuePoint ATI S-3 chipset 3. If you have an IBM PS ValuePoint, it is highly recommended you MAKEINI using Method 5, in Methods for Restoring a Corrupted Desktop. 4. For ServicePak 2.11 A. You need to ATTRIB INI files, Type: ATTRIB OS2*.INI -R and press Enter B. If the CSD diskettes does not work correctly: 1. Start off of the CSD diskette 1. 2. When it asks for the next diskette: Insert diskette 1 from GA diskettes. This starts OS/2 2.11. TO RUN CHKDSK: 1. Perform SHUTDOWN. If you are unable to SHUTDOWN, turn off system for 30 seconds. 2. Insert the Installation Diskette in drive A: 3. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart system if you SHUTDOWN. Turn the computer on if you turned it off. 4. When prompted, remove Installation Diskette and insert Diskette 1. 5. Press Enter. 6. When the Welcome Screen appears, press Esc to display the A: prompt. 7. Remove Diskette 1 and insert Diskette 2, which contains CHKDSK command. 8. To correct errors on hard disk, type appropriate CHKDSK command followed by the drive on which OS/2 resides. X: denotes drive where OS/2 resides If you installed from CD, the command prompts stops at CD drive in DISK_1 subdirectory, change to DISK_2 subdir. X:\OS2SE21\DISK_2 (X: is the CD ROM drive) For FAT file system, type: CHKDSK X: /F For HPFS file system, type: CHKDSK X: /F:2 9. Press Enter to start the CHKDSK command. NOTE: If you have any errors, run the CHKDSK command repeatedly until ALL errors are cleared up. Continue with the steps in this document. After you run CHKDSK repeatedly, and IF you are getting the same error/s repeatedly, remove the Diskette. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart system. Call OS/2 Technical Support. RETURNING TO VGA: If you have one of the following video cards or chipsets, it is recommended to go back to VGA mode prior to MAKEINI. IBM Valuepoint ATI S-3 chipset The correct procedure is RSPDSPI to return to VGA: Use the following procedure instead of the SETVGA command, if you need to return to VGA mode. Follow procedure after starting OS/2 from the Installation Diskette and pressing Esc to go to the command prompt. NOTE: X: startup drive (where OS/2 2.1 is resides) CASE 1: You installed OS/2 from diskettes A: If RSPDSPI.EXE is in the \OS\INSTALL\ directory type the following and press Enter: X: CD X:\OS2\INSTALL RSPDSPI /PK:VGA /SK:NONE /S:A:\ /T:X: where: A: is diskette drive you used to install OS/2 B: If RSPDSPI.EXE is NOT in the \OS2\INSTALL\ directory: 1.Insert Installation diskette 8 and unpack RSPDSPI.EXE with following command: X:\OS2\UNPACK A:\INSTAID X: /N:RSPDSPI.EXE where: A: is drive containing diskette 8 2. Type following commands: X: CD X:\OS2\INSTALL RSPDSPI /PK:VGA /SK:NONE /S:A:\ /T:X: where: A: is diskette drive you used to install OS/2 Case 2: You installed OS/2 from CD-ROM or a LAN A: If RSPDSPI.EXE is in the \OS\INSTALL\ directory type the following and press Enter: X: CD X:\OS2\INSTALL RSPDSPI /PK:VGA /SK:NONE /S:E:\OS2SE21\ /T:X: where: E: is CD-ROM or LAN drive B: If RSPDSPI.EXE is NOT in \OS2\INSTALL\ directory. 1.Unpack RSPDSPI.EXE with the following command and press Enter: X:\OS2\UNPACK E:\DISK_8\INSTAID X:/N:RSPDSPI.EXE where E: is the CD-ROM or LAN drive 2. Type the following command and press Enter: X: CD X:\OS2\INSTALL RSPDSPI /PK:VGA /SK:NONE /S:E:\OS2SE21\ /T:X: where: E: is CD-ROM or LAN drive MAKEINI After installation, you should do a proper SHUTDOWN. When you restart the system, it is recommended to make back-ups of CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, OS2.INI, OS2SYS.INI, STARTUP.CMD, and other files necessary. You can protect your INI files by having them automatically backed up each time you start your system. If you include the following statements in your CONFIG.SYS file, a backup copy of your current INI files and a backup copy of the INI files as they existed at the previous system startup will be made. NOTE: X: is the drive where OS/2 resides. CALL=X:\OS2\XCOPY.EXE X:\OS2\*.INX X:\OS2\*.INY CALL=X:\OS2\XCOPY.EXE X:\OS2\OS2*.INI X:\OS2\*.INX By copying the INI files this way, you can recover a recent version of these files in case the INI file becomes corrupted. The first time the system uses the backup commands, you will receive an error on the INX file as it assumes the INX file is present. Ignore the error. The OS2.INI file, is referred to as the USER INI file, is an operating system startup file that contains system settings such as application defaults, display options, and file options. The OS2SYS.INI file, is referred to as the SYSTEM INI file, is an operating system file that contains information about installed fonts and printer drivers. NOTE: ALL PROCEDURES &. METHODS are done by starting at an A: prompt from Diskettes. Follow steps 1 - 5 from CHKDSK and it brings you to an A: prompt. Ii is best to run CHKDSK and reset video, if necessary. X: DENOTES drive letter where OS/2 resides. (EX: C:, D:,E:) SYMPTOMS: - Blank, damaged, or corrupted Desktop - Missing or blank folders, missing icons - Error messages referring to INI files, for example: WPS cannot be located, USER INI files may be corrupt, etc. - SYS3175 after trying to print or after installing video to a higher resolution. - System hangs, window list comes up, and you can move the mouse. - Blank Desktop: Check the CONFIG.SYS to see if you have a duplicate set of INI statements. Remark (REM) the following statements, if there are duplicates: SET USER_INI SET SYSTEM_INI Use Method 1 to MAKEINI. If desktop does not appear, use Method 2. - Drives Icon: problems opening and closing immediately. 1. Go to an A: prompt from diskettes. 2. Insert OS/2 Diskette 2. 3. Run CHKDSK. 4. Erase the hidden file WP?ROOT.?SF. ATTRIB X:\WP?ROOT.?SF -s -r -h and press Enter DEL X:\WP?ROOT.?SF and press Enter 5. Remove diskette and press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart system. NOTE: When you Recover user INI files: A. If you ERASE, you will loose all customization. B. OMIT ERASE steps, you preserve customization. C. If you get error message or access denied when using command MAKEINI, use ATTRIB command, Type: ATTRIB OS2*.INI -R and press Enter Retry the MAKEINI commands and continue. TO RECOVER USER INI FILES, PRESERVING CUSTOMIZATION 1. Go to a command prompt from diskette. 2. Change to the drive where OS/2 resides. Type: X: and press Enter 3. Change to the OS2 subdirectory. Type: CD \OS2 and press Enter 4. Create a new version of user INI file. Type: MAKEINI OS2.INI INI.RC and press Enter 5. Create a new version of the system INI file. Type: MAKEINI OS2SYS.INI INISYS.RC and press Enter 6. Remove Diskette 1 from drive A: 7. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the system. TO RECOVER USER INI FILES, LOOSING CUSTOMIZATION 1. Go to a command prompt from Diskettes. 2. Change to the drive where OS/2 resides. Type: X: and press Enter 3. Change to the OS2 subdirectory. Type: CD \OS2 and press Enter 4. Erase the current version of the user INI file. Type: ERASE OS2.INI and press Enter 5. Create a new user version of user INI file. Type: MAKEINI OS2.INI INI.RC and press Enter 6. Erase the current version of the system INI file. Type: ERASE OS2SYS.INI and press Enter 7. Create a new version of the system INI file. Type: MAKEINI OS2SYS.INI INISYS.RC and press Enter 8. Remove Diskette 1 from drive A: 9. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the system. BACKING UP AND RESTORING YOUR DESKTOP You should regularly make a backup copy of your desktop. This is important if you customized the desktop. You can use the backup copy to restore the desktop, if something should happen. After installation, it is recommended to perform proper SHUTDOWN. Do not back up OS2.INI file before starting OS/2 for first time. For more information about the BACKUP command, refer to the online Command Reference in the Information folder. Or go to an OS/2 window, Type: HELP BACKUP and press Enter. BACKING UP THE DESKTOP NOTE: This procedure requires a blank formatted diskette. X: denotes drive where OS/2 resides 1. Go to a command prompt from diskettes. 2. Remove OS/2 Diskette 1 and replace with blank formatted diskette in drive A: 3. Use the BACKUP command to copy the DESKTOP directory and its subdirectories to the diskette. Type: BACKUP X:\DESKTOP A: /S and then press Enter NOTE: The name of your DESKTOP directory might be slightly different if using HPFS or if you replaced your desktop previously. 4. Copy the OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI files, located in \OS2 subdirectory, to the diskette. Type: COPY X:\OS2\OS2*.INI A: and press Enter 5. Copy the CONFIG.SYS file to the diskette. Type: COPY X:\CONFIG.SYS A: and press Enter 6. Remove the diskette from the drive A: RESTORING THE DESKTOP Certain actions might damage your desktop and leave it unusable. For example, rearranging a hard disk while running a specific version of DOS might damage .INI files or extended attributes. You can recover by: Rebuilding your existing DESKTOP -------------- METHOD 1 Temporary or Dummy INI Restoration ------------ METHOD 2 Reverting back to the original DESKTOP -------- METHOD 3 Recreating the INI files ---------------------- METHOD 4 Replacing the INI files on PS ValuePoint ------ METHOD 5 If you decide to return to original desktop, modifications made to desktop and CONFIG.SYS file are lost and must be re-created. REPLACING THE DESKTOP You can replace existing desktop with a backup copy of DESKTOP. NOTE: This procedure requires a diskette containing the backup copy of DESKTOP. X: denotes drive where OS/2 resides 1. Go to a command prompt from diskettes. 2. Remove Diskette 1 and insert the diskette with the backup copy of DESKTOP into drive A: 3. Copy OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI to the \OS2 directory, Type: COPY A:\OS2*.INI X:\OS2 and press Enter 4. Copy CONFIG.SYS to the root directory, Type: COPY A:\CONFIG.SYS C:\ and press Enter 5. Use the RESTORE command to copy the DESKTOP directory and subdirectories. Type: RESTORE A: X: /S and press Enter 6. Remove the diskette from drive A: 7. Press Ctrl+ Alt+Del to restart system. ---------------------------------------------------------------- METHODS FOR RESTORING A CORRUPTED DESKTOP ---------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: METHOD 5 IS TO BE USED WITH IBM VALUEPOINT MACHINES. There may be cases where your desktop is corrupted. For example, if you started DOS and tried to rearrange your hard disk and corrupted either .INI files or Extended Attributes. The following procedures have been implemented to help in these cases. There are three methods of restoring your desktop, one dummy method, and Method 5 is for the IBM PS ValuePoints. Read ALL methods before proceeding. METHOD 1 - REBUILDING THE DESKTOP The method migrates your current desktop configuration by merging new initialization files with your corrupt initialization files. You can use this procedure if you do not want to replace both the CONFIG.SYS and the DESKTOP. With this method, you do NOT loose your customization. X: is where OS/2 resides 1. Go to a command prompt from diskettes. 2. Insert OS/2 Diskette 2 and type: For FAT systems: CHKDSK X: /F and Press Enter For HPFS systems: CHKDSK X: /F:2 and Press Enter Run CHKDSK repeatedly, until it reports no errors 3. Change to the drive containing OS/2. 4. Switch to the OS2 sub-directory. Type: X:\OS2 and press Enter 5. At the command line type: ATTRIB OS2*.INI -R and press Enter MAKEINIOS2.INI INI.RC and press Enter MAKEINI OS2SYS.INI INISYS.RC and press Enter 6. At the command line use ATTRIB command to delete the hidden file WP ROOT.SF in the OS2 startable partition. Type: ATTRIB X:\WP?ROOT.?SF -s -r -h and press Enter DEL X:\WP?ROOT.?SF and press Enter 7. Remove Diskette and press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the system. This replaces desktop by using the new .INI files. 8. It is highly recommended to do an immediate SHUTDOWN after the system is installed to make sure that all programs and files have been associated correctly. Select SHUTDOWN on the system menu. METHOD 2 - TEMPORARY METHOD OF INI RESTORATION This is similar to Method 1, except that it initializes the desktop with temporary INI files, also referred as DUMMY INI's. 1. Open up an OS/2 window 2. At the command prompt, Type: CD\OS2 and press Enter MAKEINI OS21.INI INI.RC and press Enter MAKEINI OS2SYS1.INI INISYS.RC and press Enter NOTE: INI file names have a 1 at the end of the name. 3. Edit the CONFIG.SYS: At the command prompt, Type: CD\ and press Enter E CONFIG.SYS and press Enter 4. Change the following lines located near top of CONFIG.SYS: SET USER_INI=C:\OS2\OS2.INI SET SYSTEM_INI=C:\OS2\OS2SYS.INI to read as follows: SET USER_INI=C:\OS2\OS21.INI SET SYSTEM_INI=C:\OS2\OS2SYS1.INI 5. Select File. Select Save. Select Close. 6. Do a proper SHUTDOWN and restart the system. 7. If these steps solved the problem, the INI files were at fault. Edit the CONFIG.SYS, change the two modified lines in step 5 to the ORIGINAL file names (without the 1 in the file name) and follow Method 4 below. METHOD 3 - REVERTING TO THE ORIGINAL DESKTOP This method copies your original desktop and initialization file and then generates new files from copies that are stored in the OS2\INSTALL sub-directory. This method does NOT save shadow copies of icons or extended services icons on your desktop. This starts the tutorial and generates the desktop as if you just finished the installation process. You loose customization and CONFIG.SYS is replaced with the original one. 1. If possible do a proper SHUTDOWN of OS2. 2. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the system. 3. When you hear a single beep, or when you press Enter at the Boot Manager menu or password prompt(enter password); press and hold Alt+F1 keys. Hold these keys down until the keyboard buffer is full. The buffer is full when a rapid beeping sound is heard. 4. Release the keys after the buffer is filled. 5. The system goes past the OS2 Logos. A message says that 3 files are renamed and re-created from copies in OS2\INSTALL sub-directory. 6. The system returns to the original desktop. This process can take up to 10 minutes. If the tutorial starts again, you may want to review it while desktop is being generated. 7. It is highly recommended to do an immediate SHUTDOWN after the system is installed to make sure that all programs and files have been associated correctly. METHOD 4 - RE-CREATING THE .INI FILES If the previous methods do not work, you can manually re-install without having to install with the diskettes. You do loose customization. X: drive where OS/2 resides 1. Go to a command prompt from diskettes. 2. Insert Diskette 2 and type: For FAT systems: CHKDSK X: /F and press Enter For HPFS systems: CHKDSK X: /F:2 and press Enter Run CHKDSK repeatedly, until there are no errors 3. Change to the drive containing OS/2. Go to the OS2 sub-directory and type: X: and press Enter X:\OS2 and press Enter 4. At the command line type: ATTRIB OS2*.INI -R and press Enter DEL OS2.INI and press Enter DEL OS2SYS.INI and press Enter 5. At the command line type: MAKEINI OS2.INI INI.RC and press Enter MAKEINI OS2SYS.INI INISYS.RC and press Enter 6. At the command line use the ATTRIB command to delete the hidden file WP ROOT.SF in the OS2 startable partition. Type: ATTRIB C:\WP?ROOT.?SF -s -r -h and press Enter DEL C:\WP?ROOT.?SF and press Enter 7. Change to the desktop sub-directory and remove all the subsequent sub-directories located beneath the desktop directory. OS/2 2.1 is named DESKTOP. Type: CD DESKTOP (For 2.1 FAT or HPFS systems) To remove sub-directories issue the RD subdir command. (subdir is name of sub-directory to be deleted) EX: RD DESKTOP NOTE: In FAT systems, blanks in folder names are represented by underscores (_), and in HPFS folder names with blanks must be enclosed in double quotes ("). If any of these directories do not exist, you may omit them. 8. Remove the diskette and press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the system. This re-builds the desktop to your current desktop by replacing the corrupt .INI files with new .INI files created by MAKEINI. 9. It is highly recommended to do an immediate SHUTDOWN after system is installed to be sure all programs and files are associated correctly. NOTE: If your desktop is incomplete or did not recreate the desktop correctly, REPEAT steps 3 through 5 TWICE, remove the diskette, and restart the system. NOTE: If you are unable to delete the DESKTOP and/or subdir: A. Select WINOS/2 Group on DESKTOP. B. Select WINOS/2 Main. C. Select File Manager. D. Select the drive where OS/2 resides. E. Select DESKTOP. F. Select File, and click on DELETE. G. Select YES ON ALL. METHOD 5 - FOR IBM PS VALUEPOINT to MAKEINI This method is to be used for the IBM PS ValuePoint systems to recover INI files. X: drive where OS/2 resides 1. Go to command prompt from diskettes. 2. Remove diskette and insert OS/2 Diskette 2 and type: For FAT systems: CHKDSK X: /F and press Enter For HPFS systems: CHKDSK X: /F:2 and press Enter 3. Change to drive OS/2 resides on, change to: X: (drive where OS/2 resides) and press Enter OS2\DLL\DISPLAY dir X: and press Enter CD\OS2\DLL\DISPLAY and press Enter 4. Copy the file, DISPLAY.DLL to the OS/2 subdir. Should be 76988 bytes in size. Type: COPY DISPLAY.DLL X:\OS2\DLL and press Enter 5. Change to OS2\INSTALL directory, Type: CD\OS2\INSTALL and press Enter COPY OS2.INI X:\OS2\OS2.INI and press Enter COPY OS2SYS.INI X:\OS2\OS2SYS.INI and press Enter 6. Use ATTRIB command for hidden file WP?ROOT.?SF, Type: ATTRIB X:\WP?ROOT.?SF -S -R -H and press Enter DEL X:\WP?ROOT.?SF and press Enter 7. Remove the diskette, and press Ctrl+Alt+Del. This takes approximates 5 minutes. If system does not start properly or you need assistance, call for support and request VIDEO support. Please document procedure and problem. ================================================================ SYMPTOM: For the Blank Desktop, after installing 2.1, WPS (Work Place Shell) cannot be located, USER INI or hard disk may be corrupted... WORK AROUND: Run CHKDSK Recreate the INI files Delete the Desktop directory and subdirectories NOTE: It is highly recommended to be sure your system VIDEO is set to VGA mode prior to MAKEINI. Following cards should be set to VGA mode using the RSPSPDI procedure: PS ValuePoint ATI (should be set to VGA - 8514) S-3 chipsets FOR WORK PLACE SHELL (WPS) CANNOT BE LOCATED: This procedure is very effective for Desktop Cannot be Located message when not associated with a trap. To run CHKDSK: 1. Perform SHUTDOWN. If you are unable to SHUTDOWN, turn off system for 30 seconds. 2. Insert Installation Diskette in drive A: 3. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart system if you SHUTDOWN. Turn the computer on if you turned it off. 4. When prompted, remove Installation Diskette and insert Diskette 1. 5. Press Enter. 6. When the Welcome Screen appears, press Esc, to display the A: prompt. 7. Remove Diskette 1 and insert Diskette 2 which contains CHKDSK command. 8. To correct errors on the hard disk, type appropriate CHKDSK command followed by the drive where OS/2 resides. X: denotes drive where OS/2 resides For FAT systems: CHKDSK X: /F and press Enter For HPFS systems: CHKDSK X: /F:2 and press Enter If you installed from CD, the command prompts stops at CD drive in DISK_1 subdirectory, change to DISK_2 subdir. X:\OS2SE21\DISK_2 (X: is the CD ROM drive) If you have any errors, run the CHKDSK command repeatedly until ALL errors are cleared up. If you have crosslinked files, copy files that are crosslinked from hard disk to diskette. Delete files from hard disk and copy from diskette back to hard disk. 9. Switch to OS2 subdirectory, type: CD \OS2 and press Enter DEL OS2.INI and press Enter DEL OS2SYS.INI and press Enter If you see the Access Denied message, type: ATTRIB OS2*.INI -R and press Enter Now you can delete the files. 10. Copy OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI from your OS2\INSTALL subdirectory to your OS2 subdirectory. CD \OS2\INSTALL and press Enter COPY OS2.INI X:\OS2 and press Enter COPY OS2SYS.INI X:\OS2 and press Enter 11. From your OS2 subdirectory: Type the following: MAKEINI OS2.INI INI.RC and press Enter MAKEINI OS2SYS.INI INISYS.RC and press Enter 12. Change back to root directory. Delete entire DESKTOP directory structure, including DESKTOP directory. If you have more than one desktop directory, do the same for each. If system is formatted HPFS include directory names with spaces in double quotes ("). Delete all files from the directory, then remove the directory. Also, you must not be in the directory when you remove it. 13. From your root directory: Type: ATTRIB WP?ROOT.?SF -H -R -S and press Enter DELWP?ROOT.?SF snd press Enter 14. Remove diskette and press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart system. NOTE: If desktop does NOT come up, follow steps 9-11 TWICE and restart the system. If you continue to have a problem, contact OS/2 Technical Support. ================================================================ PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: LOST EXT.
