-
- ================================================================
- SYS2025 & SYS2027 on the Installation
- ================================================================
- Getting SYS02025 and SYS02027 on the installation diskette. Make
- a DISKCOPY of Installation Diskette and try installing with copy.
-
- Check if customer swapped their floppy drives without updating
- their CMOS. Setting the CMOS correctly will allow installation
- to complete without getting the SYS02025 and SYS02027.
-
- FOR OEM system:
- It is recommended to disable TURBO, CACHE, and SHADOW RAM.
- (Packard Bell system need not disable features.)
- Disconnect devices: tapeback ups, network cards, scanners,etc
- After installation is completed, enable all feature and
- reconnect devices.
- =================================================================
- SYS02025 and SYS02027 on OEM with PHOENIX bios 1.03 on OS/2 2.1
- Install Diskette.
- =================================================================
- Work around:
- 1) Make backup copy of OS/2 2.1 Install diskette.
- 2) Del OS2LDR /* from backup diskette */
- Del OS2BOOT /* from backup diskette */
- 3) Copy OS2LDR /* from original to backup */
- Copy OS2BOOT /* from original to backup */
- The SYS02025 and SYS02027 errors have also been found when the
- user swaps the floppy drive cables without updating CMOS.
- Updating CMOS corrects the problem (3.5 and 5.25 cable swap).
-
- NOTE: A tool is available on the Raleigh BBS and Compuserve that
- allows you to install OS/2 2.1 from the B drive, when B
- drive is 3.5 and and A drive is 5.25 and the diskettes are
- 3.5. This utility is called:
-
- INST21L (if you have BLUE labels on your disks)
- INST21M (if you have SALMON or GREEN label on your disks)
