I'm having a helluva time trying to install Warp on a Dell Pentium.  It 
was running fine before, but a power failure occurred and tahe disk got 
trashed.  I try to install Warp Connect, everything's fine up until the 
first reboot.

It starts up a little, loads a few device drivers, and then displays the 
message:

OS/2 is unable to operate your hard disk or diskette drive.  Correct the 
preceding error and restart the system.

This happens even when doing the Alt-F1, C bare boot.  I tried creating 
partitions on different parts of the physical drive, using FAT and HPFS, 
but always get the same error.

It is an all-IDE (unfortuantely) system with an IDE CD-ROM.  Are there 
newer drivers I must use than the ones on the Warp Connect install disks?

Thanks for any help on this.
- Keith
