- All you need to do is to make sure the following files on on your BOOT Drive:
-
- \OS2\HPFS.IFS
- \OS2\DLL\UHPFS.DLL
-
- If they're not already present, you'll need to install them. Look for the
- OS/2 System Setup folder in the OS/2 System Folder. Then look for the
- Selective Install program. When you run this, the second panel will allow
- you to install the HPFS. You'll need your Install Disks for this.
-
- If the files are already there, just add the following line to CONFIG.SYS
-
- IFS=C:\OS2\HPFS.IFS
