OSDICFPY - UNABLE TO ACCESS DISKETTE DRIVE IN OS/2 WARP
12/15/95
=======================================================================
Unable to Access Diskette Drive in OS/2 Warp
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
Cannot access the diskette drive after installing OS/2 Warp 3.0. The
problem did not occur when OS/2 2.X was installed on the system.
RESOLUTION
Note: Make sure you have a backup of any file you intend to change.
The OS/2 Warp Installation program adds both the OEM and PS/2
diskette-drive device drivers to the CONFIG.SYS file of some systems.
Remark-out (REM) the unneeded device driver in the CONFIG.SYS file, as
follows:
1. At an OS/2 command prompt, type E CONFIG.SYS and press Enter to edit
the CONFIG.SYS file.
2. Make the following changes:
* For IBM PS/2 Micro Channel systems:
Change: BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD
To: REM BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD
* For other systems:
Change: BASEDEV=IBM2FLPY.ADD
To: REM BASEDEV=IBM2FLPY.ADD
3. Save and exit the file; then shut down and restart the system.
