- SHORT CUT IF YOUR INSTALLATION PROCEDURE STOPS
- ================================================================
-
- Please Read Entire Document for a Full Explanation of Procedures
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- If the installation procedure stops, you might be able to
- complete the installation without reusing all the installation
- diskettes. You do not have to use all diskettes again if the
- installation stopped after you were prompted to put the
- Installation Diskette in the drive the second time (after you are
- in the graphical installation). For example, if you were copying
- files from Diskette 9 on a 3.5-inch-diskette system, you could
- resume the installation at Diskette 9 after doing the following:
-
- 1. Identify which diskette was being "unpacked" when the
- installation procedure stopped.
-
- 2. Subtract the number of that diskette from 15 and add one
- to the result if you have 3.5-inch installation
- diskettes. (Subtract the number from 18 if you have
- 5.25-inch installation diskettes.) For example, if you
- were on Diskette 9 on a 3.5-inch system, the result
- would be 7.
-
- 3. Start the computer with the Installation Diskette, and
- then insert Diskette 1 when prompted.
-
- 4. When you are prompted, press Esc to cancel. A command
- prompt appears.
-
- 5. Use a text editor to edit the CONFIG.SYS file on the
- hard disk.
-
- 6. On the line that starts with FIRSTDISK, change the
- number to the number of the diskette that was in the
- diskette drive when the installation procedure stopped.
- For example, if installation stopped on diskette 9,
- the line should read:
-
- FIRSTDISK=9
-
- 7. In the line that starts with NUMDISKS, change the
- number to the one you reached in step 2. In the
- example, this is 7.
-
- NUMDISKS=7
-
- 8. Remove the diskette and press Ctrl+Alt+Del. You see the
- graphical install panel. Select OK. Select INSTALL.
- Select all defaults.
-
- 9. When you are prompt, insert the diskette that
- was being loaded when the installation procedure
- stopped.
-
- All the Selective Install choices you selected when you
- originally tried to install OS/2 2.x are preserved.
