Hi,
    Just re-installing OS/2 ver 3 from floppies.
    The configuration of the computer is exactly
the same as before, except that the C: drive (540Mb)
that died has been replaced by an 840Mb unit.
    Get as far as disc 1, when it says that there's not enough
space on C: (there's 340Mb), and says to do a custom install.
    Which I did.
    Both attempts at a custom install failed at Disc 1
with failure on FDISK command.
    Any suggestions?
TIA.
