Help! I'm running OS/2 with the HDFS and have encountered some serious problems. When I try to install the graphics accelerators that came with my ATI card, the software somehow changes the config.sys file. Unfortunately, when I reboot, the system complains about not being able to find the file C:\COUNTRY.SYS. After several other attempted solutions, I finally deleted the config.sys file and coppied COUNTRY.SYS to the root director. Even then, I got the same error. Due to this annoying trait (storin
g config data elsewhere?), I have reinstalled OS/2 some five times now! Additionally, with each installation, I have to reformat the drive because I don't have any utilities to defragment my hard drive. Reccomendations for high quality disk utility would be much appreciated, as well as information about the afore mentioned problem.
