- Could someone please offer me some advice about the following setup:
- 40 Mb IDE
- 200 Mb SCSI (AHA1542b)
-
- I am trying to get OS/2 2.0 to allow me to boot from the second disk, the SCSI
- disk, and allow access to the IDE disk, as well. I set up a Boot Manager
- partition at the beginning of the first disk, and a 32 Mb OS/2 boot partition
- at the end of the SCSI disk, and installed the OS/2 boot partition into boot
- manager. When I had primary DOS partitions on the IDE and the SCSI, I was
- unable to access the IDE disk at all from OS/2. I changed the primary DOS
- partitions to extended partitions, and OS/2 starts to boot, then gives me a
- CANNOT FIND COUNTRY.SYS in line 33, error. Well, I tried booting the OS/2
- floppy, and my OS/2 partition is still there, and the config.sys is intact, and
- correct. So, why the error? And, is there any way to get this setup to
- work?
-
- I called IBM's technical support, and they just told me that I shouldn't
- use an IDE and a SCSI disk, and that I can't boot with a 1542. Well, since
- I know that that is incorrect, maybe someone on the net can tell me the real
- scoop about partitioning, and how to get OS/2 to boot from the second drive
- and still recognize the first.
-
- Sorry for the lengthy post, and thanks for any help you can give.
