- From what I read, you must reformat your OS/2 partition, if you encounter
- the infamous 'PRODUCT.EXE' error. Thats what I did when i installed the
- service pack (just to re-adjust the partition sizes... in doing this i
- seem to have missed all the hair-pulling with the SP).
- Anyone else care to comment?
