OSINCOIN - CONTINUING INSTALLATION IF PROCEDURE STOPS-ALL OS/2 RELEASES
01/17/96
=======================================================================
Continuing Installation if Procedure Stops--All OS/2 Releases
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
If the installation procedure stops, you might be able to complete the
installation without reusing all of the installation diskettes. You do
not have to use all diskettes again if the installation stopped after
you were prompted to put the Installation Diskette in the drive for the
second time (after you are in the graphical installation). For example,
if you were copying files from Diskette 9 on a 3.5-inch-diskette system,
you could resume the installation at Diskette 9 after doing the
following:
RESOLUTION
Note: Make sure you have a backup of any file you intend to change.
1. Identify which diskette was being "unpacked" when the installation
procedure stopped.
2. If you have 3.5-inch diskettes, subtract the number printed on the
diskette from 15 and add 1 to the result (subtract the number from
18 if you have 5.25-inch diskettes). For example, if you were on
Diskette 9 on a 3.5-inch system, the result would be 7.
3. Start the computer with the Installation Diskette; when prompted,
remove the diskette and insert Diskette 1.
4. When prompted, press Esc to cancel. A command prompt appears.
5. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file on the hard disk.
6. On the line that starts with FIRSTDISK, change the number to the
number of the diskette that was in the diskette drive when the
installation stopped. For example, if installation stopped at
Diskette 9, the line should read:
FIRSTDISK=9
7. On the line that starts with NUMDISKS, change the number to the one
you reached in step 2. In the example, this was 7, so the line
should read:
NUMDISKS=7
8. Save and exit the CONFIG.SYS file; then remove the diskette and
press Ctrl+Alt+Del.
9. At the graphical installation screen, select OK and then Install.
Select all defaults.
10. When prompted, insert the diskette that was being loaded when the
installation procedure stopped.
All the Selective Install choices you selected when you originally
tried to install OS/2 are preserved.
