- ==================================================================
- SYSTEM ASKS FOR DISK 16 BUT THERE ARE ONLY 15
- PLUS THE PRINTER DRIVER DISKS
- ==================================================================
-
- DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS:
-
- The installation of OS/2 2.0 goes fine up to disk 15 but then the
- system prompts for disk 16, the problem is there are only disks
- 0-15 for installation and the printer driver diskettes.
-
- SUMMARY OF RESOLUTION:
- This problem usually occurs on systems which have had the A: and B:
- drives switched because OS/2 has to install from drive A: but drive
- A: was a 5.25 inch drive and the install disks are 3.5 inch. The
- drive cables must be physically switched and the CMOS setup has to
- be updated as to the new configuration.
-
- DETAILS OF RESOLUTION:
- Go inside the machine and swap floppy drive cable connectors, use
- the system's setup utility to set the new CMOS parameters, and then
- install OS/2 from the "new" Drive A. Sometimes the floppy drive
- cable connectors will not be the same. If so an adapter plug can
- be obtained.
