After solving my last installation (some of my RAM was bad), I'm now having
a new problem with installing OS/2. I can get through the Hard Disk Configuration
but when I get 
to the setup disks (disks 7-18) it freezes -- once on disk 7, another on
disk 9, and another time on disk 14.  It will just be copying the files and 
suddenly will stop. No error message or anything will happen. I've talked to
IBM and the support person was baffled.  He said they'd try to do some research
and would get back to me.

I have the following setup:

1) 386/33 with 4 MB RAM (4 1MB SIMMs)
2) Maxtor 213 MB IDE HD (C:)
3) Plus 105MB Hard Card (D:)
4) 5.25" Floppy Drive (A:)
5) 3.5" Floppy Drive (B:)
6) Paradise VGA Card
7) Microsoft Inplus Mouse Card
8) Microsoft Mouse (set for interrupt 2)
9) SoundBlaster Sound Card (set for IRQ 5)
10) NEC Multisync/4D monitor
11) HP Deskwriter + printer

I'm currently running DOS 5.0 and am attempting to install OS/2 (from 5.25"
disks) as a dual boot on C:.

Any suggestions?
