OSCINSPA - OS/2 WARP INSTALLATION ERROR MESSAGE--NOT ENOUGH SPACE
02/09/96
=======================================================================
OS/2 Warp Installation Error Message--Not Enough Space
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
When installing OS/2 Warp, the following message is received:
Not Enough Space to Install.
RESOLUTION
* Check for DOS doublespace or disk management on the hard drive.
* Check if the hard disk is greater than 528 MB (more than 1024
cylinders).
Checking for DOS Doublespace or Disk Management
-----------------------------------------------
DOS Doublespace
---------------
Doublespace compresses the hard disk to double the amount of available
space. To determine if Doublespace is on the hard disk, type DIR /AH
and press Enter at a DOS prompt. If the file DBLSPACE.BIN is listed,
the disk is doublespaced.
Disk Management
---------------
Disk Management, often referred to as "On Track," writes to the
startup sector of the drive. It translates the geometry of the drive's
partition table to allow DOS to see the entire drive.
First Drive
-----------
If the message, "Dynamic Drive Overlay loading" appears when you
start the system, disk management is on the hard disk. You also
could type FDISK and press Enter at a DOS prompt. It the return
is "Non DOS partition," disk management is on the hard disk.
Second Drive
------------
If the file, DMDRVR.BIN is specified in the CONFIG.SYS file, disk
management is on the secondary drive.
Note: OS/2 Warp 3.0 cannot be installed on the same drive with
Doublespace or Disk Management. If Stacker Version 4.0 is being
used, contact Stacker.
Hard Disk Greater than 528 MB
-----------------------------
If you have an Enhanced IDE hard disk with a capacity greater than 528
MB (more than 1024 cylinders), note the following:
* The file allocation table (FAT) file system is limited to partition
sizes of fewer than 1024 cylinders.
* The high performance file system (HPFS) can support data partitions
of more than 1024 cylinders. However, the partition where OS/2 is
started from cannot be greater than 1024 cylinders. The HPFS can
support drives of up to 2 GB.
Installing OS/2 Warp 3.0 after Removing Disk Management
-------------------------------------------------------
1. Update the BIOS with a 1994 BIOS that can handle logical block
address (LBA).
2. Use an IDE controller card that has LBA.
Note: Contact the vendor for the above resolutions.
3. Partition the drive so OS/2 Warp 3.0 is in a partition within the
1024-cylinder limit. The remainder of the drive exceeding the limit
can be formatted as HPFS. This HPFS partition is not a startable
partition and cannot be accessed by DOS.
