OS/2 WARP VERSION 3
INSTALLATION README
Welcome to OS/2* Warp Version 3 (OS/2 Warp).
OS/2 Warp does a lot of the work involved in
installing an operating system for you, and includes
the following improvements:
o It takes less time and fewer diskettes to
install.
o It automatically installs the Dual Boot feature
when you install over DOS.
o You can install more than one printer during the
initial installation.
We hope you find installing OS/2 Warp to be a quick
and easy process. This README contains the latest
information available about installing OS/2 Warp.
You can also find additional information in
the "User's Guide to OS/2 Warp."

1.0 FORMAT ERRORS WHEN INSTALLING OS/2 ON 4MB COMPUTERS
___________________________________________________
When installing OS/2 on some 4MB computers, you might not
be able to format the installation partition. You will
see the following error message:
Disk Format Error
If so, discontinue the OS/2 installation and do the
following:
1. Insert the DOS Setup diskette 1 from a DOS
package into drive A.
2. Turn on your computer. If your computer is
already on, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart it.
3. When the DOS Setup screen appears, press F3 to
display a command prompt.
4. Use the DOS FORMAT command to format the
partition you want to use to install OS/2. Refer
to your DOS documentation for information about
the FORMAT command.
5. Begin the OS/2 installation again. If the
Installation program asks if you want to format
the installation partition, select Do Not Format
the Partition.
2.0 INSTALLING ON A DRIVE OTHER THAN C
__________________________________
If you are using Advanced Installation to install OS/2
Warp Version 3 on a drive other than drive C, and you are
not installing over a previous version of OS/2, deselect
the option "Migrate your existing configuration files with
your new configuration files", if available, when the
Advanced Options screen is displayed on your computer.
3.0 NOTE TO USERS OF NETWARE CLIENT VERSION 2.10 FOR OS/2
________________________________________________________
Be aware of the following before installing OS/2
Warp:
o The LOGIN.EXE command can no longer be executed
from the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file. To correct this
situation, move the LOGIN.EXE command to the
STARTUP.CMD file.
o If your configuration requires that you execute
the LOGIN.EXE command from the CONFIG.SYS file,
contact your NetWare** support line to obtain
special versions of NWDAEMON.EXE and
SPDAEMON.EXE.
4.0 VIDEO SCREEN PROBLEMS
_______________________
The OS/2 Installation program automatically detects
the graphics adapter or chip in your system.
However, if the refresh rate for the resolution you
have chosen is configured incorrectly, you might
experience problems such as:
o The Desktop is compressed into a narrow
horizontal band.
o Multiple images of the Desktop are visible.
o Diagonal lines fill the Desktop.
To configure the refresh rate, use the configuration
utility program that came with your graphics adapter
or system. Follow the instructions supplied by the
manufacturer to set the screen refresh rate. (In
many cases, the utility must be run under DOS.) When
you are finished running the configuration utility
program, shut down and restart OS/2 so that the
changes will take effect.
If you are unable to run the configuration utility
program for your graphics adapter or system, try one
of the following:
o Restart your computer and press Alt+F1 when a
small white box appears in the upper-left corner
of your screen. Then select V to reset your
system to VGA mode.
o If you can see enough of the screen to use the
mouse, open the System Object (in the System
Setup folder) and select a lower resolution on
the Screen page. Then close the System Object,
shut down OS/2, and restart your computer so that
the changes will take effect.
5.0 NOTE TO USERS OF A THINKPAD WITH A DOCKING STATION
_____________________________________________________
OR A PS/2 MODEL 76
__________________
If you are installing OS/2 on an IBM PS/2* Model 76
or an IBM ThinkPad* attached to a docking station,
you must follow the instructions in "User's Guide to
OS/2 Warp" before you begin the installation. (These
instructions are described in the section titled
"Using an IBM ThinkPad with a Docking Station or an
IBM PS/2 Model 76.")
If you are installing on a 240MB or 340MB hard disk
that uses the IBM2HDSK.ADD device driver, you must
follow the additional steps listed below. These
steps should be performed after you complete step 13
in the procedure described in "User's Guide to OS/2
Warp."
1. Remove any diskette from drive A and insert OS/2
installation Diskette 1.
2. Copy the file IBM2HDSK.ADD onto OS/2 installation
diskette 1.
3. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file.
If you have an ASCII text editor installed, you
can use it to edit the CONFIG.SYS file.
Otherwise, you can use the editor that comes on
the OS/2 installation diskettes by typing TEDIT
CONFIG.SYS at the OS/2 command prompt.
4. Add the following line as the first of the
BASEDEV entries in the CONFIG.SYS file:
BASEDEV = IBM2HDSK.ADD
5. Save the changes to CONFIG.SYS and continue with
installation.
After installation is finished, make sure that file
IBM2HDSK.ADD is in the OS2\BOOT directory, and that
the line BASEDEV=IBM2HDSK.ADD is in your CONFIG.SYS
file.
6.0 NOTE TO USERS OF A THINKPAD 720
_______________________________
On a ThinkPad 720, install OS/2 Warp using only the
internal LCD screen if you plan to run OS/2 Warp
without an external monitor attached at any time. If
you install OS/2 Warp with an external monitor
attached, you need to rebuild the .PMI in order to
run without the external monitor.
