- OS/2 2.1 for Windows, OS/2 asks for the Windows diskettes, but is

- are 7 diskettes. There is no 7th image on the CD.

- B. Make a DISKCOPY of the CD Image of Diskette 6 on
- the blank 5.25 inch diskette.
- C. Use the LABEL program in DOS to label the 5.25
- Diskette 6 as DISK7. At a DOS prompt:
