Hello Net.World,

     I am trying install OS/2 1.1 (89039) on my AST Premium/386 machine. It
has a 150 Mb Maxtor disk with an 800 series Maxtor SCSI controller. The install
disk boots and I get past the first couple info screens, then I get a big
red screen full of text telling me that FDISK has failed somehow. I can get
the exact failure codes out of the install.log file, but they really don't
tell you that much (unless you're MS and have the code book handy :-)).

     Does anyone know a workaround for this problem? Any and all suggestions
appreciated.  Thanks Much.


Fred.
