- You can boot OS/2 from its original installation floppies. Put in the
- Installation Diskette, boot your machine, and swap floppies when
- requested. When the installation routine asks you if you want to go
- ahead or press 'Esc' (I think, make sure of the keypress) to quit, quit
- out of the installation routine. You will now be in an OS/2 command
- line. Then put in Diskette 2 and run "chkdsk c:/f". The chkdsk.exe
- program is on Diskette 2. You need to do that to force OS/2 to load
- the HPFS disk driver. Now you have access to your C: drive.
