I didn't even get that far.  It didn't work and I ditched it.  Maybe
that's because I was beyond FP26 then.

A hunch is that your HPFS is screwed up.  HPFS versions prior to FP 24
and after FP17  can return bad codes due to internal memory overwrites
which could do anything to you.  The solution is to manualy replace the
HPFS related files HPFS.IFS, UHPFS.DLL, FORMAT, FDISK (I am not sure if
I am missing any here) from the new fixpack before attempting to install
it.

OS/2 is always a pain when upgrading or reinstalling.  Unaffordably...
