MAKDSKV4 V1.00a
MAKEDSKV4.CMD is a REXX implementation of MAKESR.CMD modified
for OS2_V4. It calls the OS2_V4 "CreateUtilityDisk" utility to
create the 4 disk V4 boot disk set and then modifies the disks
as needed for use by DualStor's SR.EXE recovery program. It also
incorporates the keyboard country code used in the REXXKBD.CMD
script rather than calling it externally.
I make absolutely no claims or warranties regarding the suitability,
safety, or reliability of this procedure when used on your particular
set-up and I have had no access to test it on any systems other than my
own.
At a minimum, backup a test volume and restore it using your recovery
disks BEFORE you rely on them to recover any valuable data.
The only rights I wish to claim with regard to this software is that
if you modify it in any way, please remove my name from it before any
distribution of such a revised version.

== USE =================================================================
To use MAKDSKV4;
1. Copy MAKDSKV4.CMD to your DualStor directory.
2. Insert the OS2_V4 installation CD into your CD-ROM drive
and have 4 1.4 MB floppies disk available. You do not need to
format them as they will be formatted during the procedure. (See note
3. Open an OS2 window to the DualStor directory and enter:
MAKDSKV4 [OS2 System Drive :] [Target Floppy Drive:] [skip]
- You must specify the two drive letters (with colons), the skip parameter
is optional (see note 3)
- The CREATE UTILITY DISKS program will put a dialog on the
screen that prompts for a source directory. The default already
filed in should be
[MYCDROMDRIVE:]\os2image
Just go ahead and accept this. It is the path to the
utility disk images on the installation CD-ROM used by the
CREATE UTILITY DISKS program to create the diskettes.
NOTES:
1. This script deletes CD-ROM support from the recovery disk set so
it IS NOT a replacement for a 'standard' utility set.
2. Only 1.4 MB floppies are supported.
3. Use the 'skip' parameter if you already have a set of 4
utility disks created by the OS2_V4 'Create Utility Disks'
program that you wish to use. In this case you do not need
more floppies or your 'Installation' CD but see NOTE 1.
4. There have been reports that Merlins's "CREATE UTILITY DISK"
program occasionally fails to format the floppy disks before writing
to them - particularly when new blank disks are used. If the disks
do not format during this procedure, the resulting utility disks
most likely will not be bootable. The solution has been to simply
repeat the process with the now non-blank disks.
