- Microsoft MS-DOS 6.2 upgrade and OS/2 . . .
- ****************************************************************************
-
- Before starting the upgrade, please refer to the Getting Started book with
- MS-DOS 6.2.
-
-
- Installing the upgrade on an OS/2 DUAL BOOT system:
-
- The MS-DOS 6.2 upgrade must be installed while DOS is the current operating
- system. If you are running OS/2 as the current operating system, the steps
- below should be taken:
-
- (1.) Boot to DOS by opening an OS/2 Window and typing:
-
- BOOT /DOS
-
- (2.) Once the boot procedure is complete, place the MS-DOS 6.2 upgrade
- diskette in the appropriate drive and type:
-
- A:SETUP (if the diskette is in the A: drive) or
- B:SETUP (if the diskette is in the B: drive)
-
- (3.) After a proper upgrade has been completed, please review the CONFIG.SYS
- and AUTOEXEC.BAT files for the proper OS/2 statements. If they are not
- there, please refer to the Installation Guide and place the statements
- as necessary.
-
- (4.) After these statements have been verified, dual boot should function as
- before. To return to OS/2, type:
-
- C:\OS2\BOOT /OS2
-
-
- Installing the upgrade on an OS/2 BOOT MANAGER system:
-
- The MS-DOS 6.2 upgrade must be installed while DOS is the current operating
- system. If you are running OS/2 as the current operating system, the steps
- below should be taken:
-
- (1.) Complete a proper shutdown of OS/2 by placing the mouse cursor on the
- desktop and pressing your right mouse button. When the "pop-up" menu
- has appeared, choose Shutdown from the menu. Follow the instructions
- until the system has told you it is safe to turn of the system or
- reboot. Rather than turn the machine off, execute a warm boot by
- pressing CTRL - ALT - DEL.
-
- (2.) When the Boot Manager menu appears, choose to boot to the DOS partition.
-
- (3.) Once the boot procedure is complete, place the MS-DOS 6.2 upgrade
- diskette in the appropriate drive and type:
-
- A:SETUP (if the diskette is in the A: drive) or
- B:SETUP (if the diskette is in the B: drive)
-
- (4.) Once the upgrade has completed, use the DOS FDISK program to set the
- Boot Manager partition as ACTIVE, or refer to page 132 of the OS/2 2.1
- Installation Guide on "making boot manager startable."
