- Hey now,
-
- This is the second time that I am posting my problem, someone please
- help me I really need to get my machine up before I leave school and
- will have to download a lot of shareware via modem instead of via
- ethernet (BIGGGGGG Difference !).
-
- Anyway...
-
- When I install the service pack, it goes fine until then end of disk 12
- and then I get an error like: user exit error a:\os2\fix\product.exe.
- It then will only let me see the log (real useful - sarcasm) and reboot.
- Of course it won't boot becuase the service pack isn't completely
- installed. If I try installing it again it jumps right to installing
- the 12th disk and then it dies again.
-
- Stuff I have tried:
- - Reinstalling the Service Pack
- - Reinstalling the GA (no problems) and then the Service Pack
- - Using someone else's disk 12 which worked on their machine but not mine
-
- Does anyone know what this is? How can I get around it? What does
- product.exe do? Did I get the bad version of the Service Pack (I doubt
- it)? Is there patches for the SP for my machine (specifics below)? Can
- I e-mail in my problem to IBM? If so, how? Etc. Etc.
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated because I really like OS/2 but I'm
- not gonna put up with this shit much longer. Another week or so of not
- having my machine up and I am going to buy Mark William's Unix and run X
- windows (it's actually cheaper than OS/2).
-
- My Machine:
- - 35 Mhz. 368/387 with 8M (all same type and speed) RAM
- - 160M Micropolis ESDI Hard drive
- - ET4000 based SVGA Card and NEC 3D monitor
- - Everything is in one partition (I have not needed to boot DOS
- since I put 0S/2 on my machine and so I got rid of all of the
- partions.)
-
- Later...
