How to install OS/2 Warp 4: Difference between revisions

 

If you have 2CD's then you should have one labelled "Boot", and another "Install", keep track of them as we'll be flipping between them quite a bit.

 

#Firstly, open up Virtual PC 2007, and create a new VM. No specific settings are required however the following are recommended:

#Firstly, you'll see a splash screen, just saying OS/2.

#Then you'll see a boot screen.

#And then another screen saying "Loading, please wait..."

#Eventually, you'll get a blue prompt for the "OS/2 Warp CD-ROM", referring to the Install CD. So go ahead and insert that, and then hit enter.

#So after that hit Enter to access... Logical Volume Management Tool. Ok here we go.

#*Firstly it hits you with the wonderfully worded "A volume of the following minimum size must be set installable".

#*After hitting enter, you enter... something. You are presented with CDROM 1, and no disk partitions?

#*At this point, you might see the hotkey for "Physical View", and hitting F5 brings you that screen.

#*You can now see your hard disk, and the partitions on it. Logic tells you that you can probably select this free space by pressing TAB to access the window, and hitting enter for options.

#*;However, this is all a red-herring. Allow me to present you with the real solution.

#Select >C:<

#Go ahead and give it a fancy name.

#Now we are brought to the Physical View, where can select the disk to create the Volume Partition.

#Press enter to select your own Disk.

#Again give it a name, no too fancy this time, the default is fine.

#And the size.. again.

#At this point it finally brings us back to the Logical View, where we have our Logical Volume, and Logical Partition.

#Press Enter on our new volume, and Select "Set the volume installable".

 

At this point we can press F3 to exit the program. '''Make sure to select "Save the changes and exit".'''
