- I tried to install my 486 machine with 114 megB ESDI
- hard drive using adeptec controller. Everything
- was doing fine till installation refused to accept
- floppy disk labelling "Disk #3". This appears that
- installation thinks this is wrong disk. I am not
- able to continue on Disk #3. I had no problem
- installing in another computer (AST labtop) in all
- all installation diskettes. Then I copy from my
- laptop to my 486 and then 486 machine can run OS/2
- without any problem but I want to install directly
- from installation diskettes.
-
- I am totally deaf and I have special phone number for
- the deaf to call IBM Support but it is recording message
- and IBM have never returned call, yet.
-
- Can you please advice me why my machine won't accept
- disk #3? This acts like that this disk is wrong one.
-
- Hardware: 486 with 33 mhz, Clone with AMI bios, Adeptec
- ESDI controller with 114 megB drive (less than
- 1024 cyclinders). I have tried several
- different VGA video cards. Inport Mouse
- and two com ports.

- Thank you
