- 2) Turn on computer, or press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart
- system.

- display command prompt ( A: )
-
- 6) Remove Disk 1 and insert Disk 2 (contains CHKDSK command)

-
- CHKDSK PROCEDURE

- 1) Run CHKDSK to correct any hard disk errors
-
- d: is the drive where OS/2 resides
-
- CHKDSK d: /f (for FAT )
- CHKDSK d: /f:2 (for HPFS)
-
- See Page 137 in the "Installation Guide" for detailed
- instructions on how to run CHKDSK.
-
- 2) Check the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file on the root directory for the

- these two statements, REM out the first set in the CONFIG.SYS
- file.
-
- SET USER_INI=C:\OS2\xxxxx.INI
- SET SYSTEM_INI=C:\OS2\xxxxx.INI
-

-
- If you do have two sets, EDIT the CONFIG.SYS with any ASCII
- EDITOR by either copying the file to a diskette and editing on
- another machine or boot up with a DOS diskette and Run EDIT or
- EDLIN to "REM" out the duplicate set of SETUSER and SETSYSTEM
- lines. (e.g. REM USER_INI=C:\OS2\xxxxx.INI)
