Anyone have any ideas why WARP 4 fdisk will not look at a new IBM Deskstar 6.4G drive (in a PC/750)? Running fdisk gives "warning - partition information on disk2 may be corrupt". Windoze will happily look at hit and format 3 x 2047M partitions, but WARP fdisk still just says "corrupt" (?) Suggestions gratefully accepted ... Jeff

Some drivers wobble when asked to access the partition tables, had exactly the same problem when I added a 3.2G SCSI drive to a system with one IDE. Solution, make a set of utility disks, or use the first few floppies from the install set, and run fdisk from there. This makes fdisk go through the BIOS on the scsi card, as the SCSI driver isn't on the utility disks, and everything works. -- I am Robert Billing, Christian, inventor, traveller, cook and animal lover, I live near 0:46W 51:22N. http://www.tnglwood.demon.co.uk/ "Bother," said Pooh, "Eeyore, ready two photon torpedoes and lock phasers on the Heffalump, Piglet, meet me in transporter room three"

What you need to do is this: Download the self-extracting file IDEDASD.EXE and update the installation diskette 1 with the new drivers for IDE-Harddisks >4,3 GB. If you do, be sure to add the line SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1 to the CONFIG.SYS file on the installation diskette 1. This ensures that Warp does not use the old drivers from cd. The drivers are available at: http://service.software.ibm.com/os2ddpak/index.htm Sjoerd Visser [To reply: remove the @ from demon.nl@]
