DESCRIPTION
Windows 3.1 was installed from CD. During the installation of OS/2 2.1
for Windows, OS/2 asks for the Windows diskettes, but is treating the
images on the CD as 5.25-inch images, where there are 7 diskettes.
There is no 7th image on the CD.
RESOLUTION
You need to either obtain a Diskette 7, or make the installation
program "think" you have it. You can do one of the following:
* Obtain a Windows 5.25-inch Diskette 7.
* Install Windows 3.1 from diskettes and use the diskettes during OS/2
for Windows installation.
* Create a "fake" Diskette 7:
1. Format a blank 5.25-inch diskette.
2. Do a DISKCOPY of the CD image of Diskette 6 to the blank 5.25-inch
diskette.
3. At a DOS prompt, type the following and press Enter after each to
label the 5.25-inch Diskette 6 as "DISK7":
A:
LABEL
DISK7
Use this diskette when the Installation program prompts you for
Diskette 7.
