1 ******************** Page: xi       ********************



  Before You Begin

  Before you begin installing OS/2*  2.0, consider the following:

   Does your computer have at least an 80386 microprocessor?
  OS/2 2.0 requires an 80386 (or higher) 32-bit microprocessor.

   Are you installing from a compact disc?
  This book describes how to install OS/2 2.0 using a series of
  installation diskettes. If you are installing from a compact disc

  (CD), refer to the instructions that come in the CD package.
   Are you installing from a diskette drive other than the one
  currently assigned as drive A?

  If you have a computer with multiple diskette drives and you
  want to install OS/2 2.0 from a drive other than A, you must
  change the startup sequence of your computer to assign that
  drive as A. For example, if you wanted to install from drive B,
  you would make drive B the first drive in the startup sequence.

  Refer to your computer system documentation to find out if you
  can change the startup sequence of your computer.
   Are you installing high-resolution display adapters?

  If you install an 8514/A display adapter or the Extended
  Graphics Array (XGA* ) adapter and you also select DOS and
  WIN-OS/2*  support during installation, you will see the
  WIN-OS/2 Video window. (WIN-OS/2 is a feature of OS/2 2.0
  that supports the independent processing of Microsoft **
  Windows **  programs.) The WIN-OS/2 Video window prompts
  you to make a choice about how you want your Windows
  programs to be run. If you want these programs to run in
  windows (as opposed to full-screen), you must select the lower
  resolution for these displays (as described on the WIN-OS/2

  Video window). If you do not select the lower resolution, you

  will be able to run your Windows programs only in full-screen
  mode.
   Are you installing disk drives that come with a Device Support

  Diskette?
  If the installation program does not recognize your disk drive
  or SCSI (small computer system interface) adapter, it will
  install general device support to enable your device to
  operate. However, if the manufacturer of the device provided
  you with a separate Device Support diskette, you should install

  that diskette when the Advanced Options window is displayed.
   Is your computer connected to a local area network?

  With OS/2 2.0, it is possible to redirect the installation to a
  source other than drive A. In a local area network
  environment, the installation source can be a drive on the
  server.
  Installing over a local area network requires additional
  software, such as LAN Support software. For more

  information, refer to  Remote Installation and Maintenance for
  OS/2 Version 2.0  (GG24-3780).

  Chapter 1. Choosing an Installation Procedure

  This book describes how to install the OS/2 2.0 operating system.
  It describes the basic installation procedure, which installs OS/2
  2.0 as the only operating system on your hard disk. It also
  describes alternative installation procedures, for those who have
  unique system requirements (such as the need to install multiple

  operating systems).

  If you follow the basic installation procedure, you will be able to
  run programs written for DOS and Microsoft Windows as well as
  OS/2 programs--all under OS/2 2.0.
































  +  Copyright IBM Corp. 19921

  Which Installation Procedure is Right for You?

  The OS/2 2.0 installation procedures have been designed with you
  in mind. You can tailor the installation procedure to meet your
  individual needs. For example:
  ▀ If you are installing on a computer that does not contain an
  operating system, you will probably want to follow the basic
  installation procedure. The basic installation procedure is
  designed for the person who wants to run OS/2 2.0 as the only

  operating system.
  ▀ If you are installing on a hard disk that already contains an
  operating system, you might want to consider one of the
  alternative installation procedures. Chapter 3 describes the
  method for adding OS/2 2.0 to a DOS system. Chapter 4
  describes how to set up your hard disk so that you can have

  multiple operating systems installed.
  In deciding which procedure is right for you, you will have to
  decide whether you want to continue to use your existing
  operating system along with OS/2 2.0, or whether you want to
  replace the operating system with OS/2 2.0.

  Considerations for keeping or replacing your current operating
  system are discussed in further detail in ■Choosing an Alternative
  Installation Procedure┐ on page 4.



















  2 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 3        ********************



  Choosing the Basic Installation Procedure

  If you know that you want to install OS/2 as your only operating
  system, you can use the basic installation procedure. Here is
  some information to get you started:
   The installation procedure begins when you insert the
  Installation Diskette  and start the computer. From that point
  on, most of the information you need to help you install OS/2
  2.0 can be found on the screens.

   During the installation, you will be asked to make choices
  about how you want your system set up. Each time you are
  asked to make a choice, a default (preselected) choice will be
  provided. (These choices will be highlighted on the screen.) If
  you know that you want to use these default choices, you can
  go now to the Quick Reference  card, which will give you

  instructions on how to start the installation.
   However, if you want more information about the choices you
  can make during installation, or if you want assistance in
  completing the basic installation procedure, you can refer to
  Chapter 2, ■Installing OS/2 2.0 as the Only Operating System
  (Basic Installation)┐ on page 11.

  If you know that you want to install OS/2 as your only operating
  system, go now to one of these:

  Chapter 1. Choosing an Installation Procedure3

















1 ******************** Page: 4        ********************



  Choosing an Alternative Installation Procedure

  The installation procedure that is right for you will depend upon:
   Whether you want to keep or replace an existing operating
  system

   Whether your hard disk already contains partitions
   The types of programs you want to run.


  Do You Want to Keep or Replace Your Operating
  System?

  Before you decide whether to keep or replace your existing
  operating system, you should be aware of how OS/2 2.0 is installed
  on a variety of configurations:

  Previous versions of OS/2 Standard Edition

  OS/2 2.0 replaces any previous version of the operating system
  when it is installed. For example, if you have OS/2 Standard
  Edition Version 1.3 on your hard disk, OS/2 2.0 will replace the
  operating system files but will leave your other programs and data
  intact.

  However, if you want to keep the earlier version of the OS/2
  operating system on your hard disk (so that both versions of the

  operating system are available to you), you can follow the
  procedure in Chapter 4, ■Installing Multiple Operating Systems
  (Boot Manager)┐ on page 33.

  OS/2 Extended Edition

  If you are installing OS/2 2.0 on an OS/2 Extended Edition system,
  the base operating system files will be replaced. OS/2 2.0 does
  not replace the Extended components (such as Communications
  Manager). You will need to upgrade these components to
  products that are compatible with OS/2 2.0. See Appendix F,
  ■Migrating from OS/2 Extended Edition to OS/2 2.0┐ on page 111
  for more information.




  4 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 5        ********************


  DOS or DOS and Microsoft Windows

  If you are installing on a system that has DOS or DOS and
  Microsoft Windows, you can add OS/2 2.0 to the hard disk (as
  described in Chapter 3, ■Adding OS/2 2.0 to a DOS System (Dual
  Boot)┐ on page 25). By following the procedure in Chapter 3, you
  will be able to use the Dual Boot feature to switch to DOS in the
  event that you have a program that needs an actual version of
  DOS to run.

  Another way to keep your DOS operating system is to place OS/2
  2.0 in a separate partition of the hard disk. (A partition is a

  fixed-size division of storage.) This method is described in
  Chapter 4, ■Installing Multiple Operating Systems (Boot Manager)┐
  on page 33.

  If you no longer need to use your DOS operating system, you can
  do one of the following:
   You can install OS/2 2.0 according to the basic installation
  procedure in Chapter 2. During installation, you will receive

  messages informing you of steps you can take to set up for
  Dual Boot. You can ignore these messages. Your DOS
  operating system files will still exist on your hard disk, but you
  might not have access to them.
   You can back up all programs and data that you want to save
  and then format the hard disk when you install OS/2 2.0.


  Is Your Hard Disk Divided Into Partitions?

  Consider the way your hard disk is set up today. Do you have
  multiple partitions on your hard disk or only one partition?

  If you have only one partition, and your hard disk has sufficient
  free space, you can install OS/2 2.0 and continue to use the
  existing partition. (Remember, OS/2 2.0 replaces earlier versions
  of the OS/2 operating system, but it is added to a system that
  contains DOS.)






  Chapter 1. Choosing an Installation Procedure5

















1 ******************** Page: 6        ********************


  If you need to change the way your hard disk is partitioned, select
  Specify your own partition  from the Installation Drive Selection
  screen.

  If you want more information about hard disk partitioning, see
  ■Hard Disk Management┐ on pages 36 through 40.


  What Types of Programs Do You Want to Run?

  To decide whether to keep or replace an existing operating
  system, it is helpful to understand how OS/2 2.0 runs programs
  from other operating systems. Included with OS/2 2.0 is support
  for running most DOS and Microsoft Windows programs. In other
  words, in most cases, you do not need to have a separate, specific
  DOS version (for example DOS 4.0) to run your DOS programs.
  The programs run in DOS or WIN-OS/2 sessions that are part of
  OS/2 2.0.

  The following is a summary of how DOS and Windows programs
  run under OS/2 2.0:

  ▀ Many DOS and Windows programs will run exactly as-is,
  without modification.
  ▀ Most other DOS and Windows programs will run under OS/2

  2.0, but their performance can be significantly improved if you
  make changes to the settings  of those programs. (Settings are
  characteristics that define the way a program operates.)
  ▀ A third class of DOS and Windows programs must be run
  under the control of the DOS operating system. You can
  switch from OS/2 2.0 to DOS to run such programs (if DOS is
  installed on your hard disk). However, as you will see in the

  following section, you can also run these programs from the
  OS/2 desktop.
  ▀ A fourth class of DOS and Windows programs must run in a
  version of DOS that is completely separate from OS/2 2.0. In
  other words, these programs require that DOS have exclusive
  use of the computer. (For example, some games require
  exclusive use of a computer because of the way they generate

  sound.) These types of programs can be run only when OS/2
  2.0 (or any operating system other than DOS) is not running.


  6 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 7        ********************


  Do You Want to Run a Version of DOS with OS/2 2.0?

  If you have programs that you know must be run under DOS, you
  can choose to keep (or place) DOS on your hard disk and switch
  from OS/2 2.0 to DOS. For example, you can:

   Add OS/2 2.0 to your existing DOS partition (as described in
  Chapter 3)
   Add OS/2 2.0 to a separate partition on the hard disk (as
  described in Chapter 4)

  The Dual Boot and Boot Manager features will be discussed in
  more detail in the section that follows. However, there is another
  way to run programs under the DOS operating system that does
  not require either the Dual Boot or Boot Manager feature. Under
  OS/2 2.0, you can load a separate, specific DOS operating system
  and run it from the OS/2 desktop. You can load a version of DOS

  even if you follow the basic installation procedure (outlined in
  Chapter 2).

  Appendix E, ■Running Specific DOS from Within OS/2 2.0┐ on
  page 103 describes the methods you can use to run a program
  that requires specific DOS. Also included in that appendix is an
  example of setting up a DOS session that loads and runs DOS LAN
  Requester from your OS/2 desktop.

  Dual Boot or Boot Manager?

  The following is a list of things to consider when you are deciding
  between the Dual Boot and Boot Manager features:

   To use the Boot Manager, you must partition your hard disk
  during installation. If your current DOS partition is large
  enough to accommodate OS/2 2.0, you do not need to partition
  the hard disk to use Dual Boot.

   If the Boot Manager feature is installed, a Boot Manager menu
  is displayed each time you start your computer. You can then
  select which operating system you want to start. If you are
  using Dual Boot, you must shut down one operating system
  and switch to the other. Also, with Dual Boot, you do not have
  a choice about which operating system starts when you turn



  Chapter 1. Choosing an Installation Procedure7

















1 ******************** Page: 8        ********************


  on the computer. The operating system that was active when
  you last shut down the computer is the one that starts.
   If you use the Boot Manager feature, you can switch among

  multiple operating systems. (For example, you might want to
  have DOS 4.0, OS/2 2.0, and AIX*  installed on your hard disk.)
  With Dual Boot installed, you can switch between OS/2 2.0 and
  DOS only.

  A Boot Manager setup requires careful planning. The beginning of
  Chapter 4 describes some of the things you should consider when
  you are setting up your partitions for multiple operating system
  installation.

  Using a Response File to Install OS/2 2.0

  A specialized type of alternative installation is the response file
  installation. A response file contains information the installation
  program uses to set up a system. When a response file is used,
  the installation program does not prompt for decisions. This type
  of installation is typically used in multi-workstation environments,

  Chapter 2. Installing OS/2 2.0 as the Only
  Operating System (Basic Installation)

  This chapter describes how to install OS/2 2.0 as the only

  operating system on your computer. It also provides information
  to help you make choices about which features of the operating
  system you want to install.

  You can use the procedure in this chapter whether you are
  installing on a new system or on a system that already contains
  data. For example, if you already have OS/2 Version 1.3 on your
  hard disk, you can use the procedure in this chapter to replace it
  with OS/2 2.0. The installation program will replace the operating
  system files from the previous OS/2 version but will leave the rest
  of your programs and data intact.

  When you install OS/2 2.0, it does not replace existing versions of
  DOS (unless you format the DOS partition). If you follow some
  preliminary steps before installing OS/2 2.0 (as outlined in
  Chapter 3, ■Adding OS/2 2.0 to a DOS System (Dual Boot)┐ on

  page 25), you can add OS/2 2.0 to a DOS partition and use the
  Dual Boot  feature to switch back and forth between the operating
  systems. However, if you no longer need to use your current
  version of DOS, you can follow the procedure in this chapter. If
  you do not perform the preliminary steps in Chapter 3, you will see
  some messages during installation telling you how to set up your
  system for Dual Boot. If you do not want to use Dual Boot, simply
  ignore these messages.

  In the first part of the installation, you will make choices about how
  the hard disk on your system should be set up.


  Setting Up Your Hard Disk

  To begin the installation of the operating system, do the following:
   1.  Insert the Installation Diskette into drive A. (Make sure the
  label side of the diskette is up and the arrow on the diskette is

  pointing toward the computer.)
   2.  Turn on the computer.


  +  Copyright IBM Corp. 1992 11

















1 ******************** Page: 12       ********************


  If the computer is already on, press and hold Ctrl+Alt and
  press Del to restart the system. The following screen appears:





















   3.  Remove the Installation Diskette, insert Diskette1, and press
  Enter.

  You will be prompted at various points during installation to
  remove the diskette in drive A and to insert another diskette.
  Be sure to leave the diskette in drive A until the instructions
  direct you to replace it. You will replace diskettes several
  times before the operating system finishes copying information
  from the diskettes to the hard disk of your computer.

  Note:  If an error message is displayed while you are installing
  the operating system, see ■Responding to Installation
  Errors┐ on page 82 for an explanation of the message
  and the corrective action.

   4.  As information is displayed, either accept it or change it. If
  you want to set up a default system, accept the preselected
  choice on each screen by pressing Enter.
  During this part of the installation, you will be asked whether
  you want to accept the default installation partition or to



  12 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 13       ********************


  specify your own partition. A partition is a fixed-size area on
  the hard disk. If you are installing on a disk that contains no
  data and you accept the default installation partition, the
  installation program installs the operating system in one
  partition that takes up the entire hard disk. If you are installing
  on a system that already contains partitions, the installation
  program indicates which partition it will use to install OS/2 2.0.
  You can either accept this default choice or select another
  partition.

  Accepting the default partition works well for most people. If
  you want to install the operating system in the default partition,
  simply accept the preselected choice.

  If you are not sure of a choice, press F1 for help.
  A note about partitioning

  If you want to create more than one partition on your hard
  disk, or if you receive a message stating that an existing
  partition is not large enough to hold OS/2 2.0, you will need
  to use the FDISK utility program to specify information
  about partitions. When you select other than the default
  partition, you see the FDISK utility screen. On this screen,
  you use the Options menu to create the partitions. (The
  Options menu is displayed when you highlight an entry on
  the FDISK screen and press Enter.)

  An example of creating more than one partition on the hard
  disk is included in ■Example 1: Creating a Primary Partition
  and a Logical Drive for Data┐ on page 85. You might want
  to follow that example now if you are setting up more than
  one partition on the hard disk. If you want to learn more
  about how a hard disk can be partitioned, see ■Hard Disk

  Management┐ on pages 36 through 40.

   5.  If you are installing ona new system or if you choose to format
  an existing partition, you will be asked to select a file system.
  A file system is the part of the operating system that provides
  access to files and programs on a disk. You can select either
  the High Performance File System or the File Allocation Table
  (FAT) file system.




  Chapter 2. Installing OS/2 2.0 (Basic Installation) 13

















1 ******************** Page: 14       ********************


  Select the FAT file system if you intend to share data in this
  partition with a version of DOS that is running independently of
  OS/2 2.0. For example, if you occasionally need to start DOS
  from a diskette and access the data in the OS/2 partition, the
  partition would have to be formatted for the FAT file system.
  (DOS uses the FAT file system, which does not recognize files
  created by the High Performance File System.)

  The High Performance File System provides fast access to
  large disk volumes and supports file names up to 254
  characters in length.

  You will see a screen message when the hard disk preparation
  has completed. You will then be asked to restart your system by
  removing the diskette and pressing Enter.


  Selecting the Operating System Features

  After you restart the computer, you will see the OS/2 Setup and

  Installation window. In this part of installation, you make choices
  about which features of the operating system you want to install.














  To select a choice from the OS/2 Setup and Installation window, do
  one of the following:
   Use the Down Arrow (» ) key to highlight the choice, and then

  press Enter.




  14 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 15       ********************


   Move the mouse pointer until it is on the choice, and press
  mouse button 1. Then, move the mouse pointer until it is on
  the OK  push button, and press mouse button 1.

  Learn How to Use a Mouse

  The default choice on this window is Learn how to use a mouse. If

  your system has a mouse attached, but you are unfamiliar with
  using the mouse, press Enter to select this choice. The Learn how
  to use a mouse  program teaches you how to use the mouse to
  make selections from the window. When you exit from the
  program, you will be returned to the OS/2 Setup and Installation
  window so that you can make an installation choice.

  Install Preselected Features

  The Install preselected features  choice copies the most commonly

  used features of the OS/2 operating system to your hard disk. It
  does not copy all the features of OS/2 2.0 to your hard disk. (For
  example, Install preselected features  does not copy such features
  as the Command Reference  or REXX Information  online documents
  or the games that are provided with OS/2 2.0.) This choice is
  useful if you want to save hard disk space. (Note that the amount
  of hard disk space required for each of the installation choices is
  shown to the right of the choice.)

  If you want to see a list of the features that will not  be installed, do
  the following:

   1.  Press F1 to displaya help window for OS/2 Setup and
  Installation. (Or, move the mouse pointer to the Help  push
  button, and press mouse button 1.)
   2.  Press the Tab key to move the cursor to Install preselected
  features  in the list at the bottom of the window. Then, press
  Enter. (Or, move the mouse pointer to Install preselected
  features  and quickly press mouse button 1 twice.)
   3.  When you finish reading the help window, press Esc to return
  to the previous window.

  Install All Features

  The Install all features  choice copies the entire OS/2 operating
  system (including all features) to your hard disk.


  Select Features and Install

  With the Select features and install  choice, you indicate which
  features of the operating system you want to install. This choice is
  similar to Install preselected features  because, by installing only
  certain features, you can save hard disk space. With this choice,
  however, you  decide which features you want to install.

  If you choose Select features and install , you can also do the
  following:

   Format one or more hard disk partitions
   Enter commands from an OS/2 command prompt
   Change certain customization information, such as controlling
  the growth of the swap file. (A swap file contains segments of
  a program or data temporarily moved out of main storage.)
  Note that you can perform these tasks only if you choose

  Select features and install.


  Selecting Your System Configuration

  Next, you will see the System Configuration window, which lists
  your country configuration and device support (for example,
  mouse, keyboard, and display). If the values listed are correct,
  select the OK  push button. To change any of the items, select the
  item and then select the OK  push button.

  If you chose Select features and install , continue to the next
  section. Otherwise, go to ■Selecting Advanced Options┐ on
  page 18.

  Selecting the Features to Install

  If you chose Select features and install , you see the second OS/2
  Setup and Installation window.



















  As you can see, check marks are shown in front of all features.
  This means that all features are preselected for installation.

  If there is a feature that you will not need, you can choose to
  remove the│  next to the feature. To remove the│  from the
  feature that you do not want to install, do one of the following:

   Move the mouse pointer to the feature and click once with
  mouse button 1.
   Move the cursor to the feature and press the Spacebar.
  If a More  push button is displayed next to a feature, select the
  push button to view more choices.

  For example, if you decide you want to install only some of the

  documentation, you select the More  push button to the right of
  Documentation  to display a list of the documentation. Then, you
  remove the│  that is next to any documentation you do not want to
  install.

  Notice the number that is shown to the right of each feature. The
  number signifies the amount of hard-disk space required to install
  that feature.

  For a description of the features, press F1, or see ■Features that
  You Can Add┐ on page 73.

  You can also use the OS/2 Setup and Installation window to format
  any partitions you might have set up earlier in the installation. For
  example, if you created one or more logical drives within the
  extended partition earlier in the installation, you can format them
  now. (A logical drive is an area of the hard disk that is typically

  used to hold programs and data. It is assigned a unique drive
  letter and can be accessed from the other drives on the hard disk.)
  To format a partition or logical drive, select the Options  menu bar
  choice, and then select Format. Indicate which file system (High
  Performance File System or File Allocation Table) you want to use
  to format the partition or logical drive.

  You can customize your system now by modifying the CONFIG.SYS
  and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. To do this, select Software
  configuration  from the menu bar. Then select either Change OS/2
  parameters  or Change DOS parameters. For example, if you want
  to control the growth of the swap file, select  Change OS/2
  parameters. Then, specify the size on the window that is
  displayed. You can also specify that the swap file be placed on a

  different drive than the one on which OS/2 2.0 is installed.

  When you have finished making all the selections from this screen,
  select the Install  push button.


  Selecting Advanced Options

  After most of the operating system files have been copied to the
  hard disk, you will see the Advanced Options window. From this
  window, you can select Install Device Support Diskette  (if you have
  hardware that came with such a diskette). You can select Migrate
  Applications  to place a copy of your DOS, Windows, or OS/2
  programs in folders on the OS/2 desktop. If you selected
  WIN-OS/2 support earlier in the installation, you can customize the



  18 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 19       ********************


  appearance of the WIN-OS/2 desktop by selecting Configure
  WIN-OS/2 Desktop. Finally, you can select Migrate
  CONFIG.SYS/AUTOEXEC.BAT  to copy customization information
  from a previous version of the OS/2 operating system to OS/2 2.0.

  To select one of the choices from the Advanced Options window,
  use the mouse or keyboard to place a check next to the feature.
  Then select OK.

  If you do not want to perform any of the tasks listed on the
  Advanced Options window, remove any check marks. Then, select
  OK.


















  Installing a Device Support Diskette


  Select Install Device Support Diskette  only if you are adding to
  your system a device that comes with a Device Support Diskette.
  Do not use this choice to install a printer. You use the Select
  Printer(s) window (which is displayed after the Advanced Options
  window) to select a printer.

  Migrating Your Programs

  Select Migrate Applications  if you have OS/2, DOS, or Microsoft
  Windows programs on your hard disk. If you select this choice,
  you can make these programs part of the OS/2 desktop. You can
  then easily start one of these programs by double-clicking on the
  icon that represents the program.

  The programs on your hard disk are compared against a default
  database that is shipped with OS/2 2.0. If the programs are found

  in the database, settings are applied to them to optimize their
  performance under OS/2 2.0. The programs are then placed in a
  folder on the OS/2 desktop. The OS/2 programs are put in an
  OS/2 Programs folder. The DOS programs are put in a DOS
  Programs folder. The Windows programs are put in a Windows
  Programs folder.

  When you select Migrate Applications , you see the Find Programs
  window.












  From this window, you can request which hard disk drives you
  want searched. You can also indicate whether you want the
  search to include DOS programs, Microsoft Windows programs,
  OS/2 programs, or all types.

  When the search is completed, you see the Migrate Applications
  window.

  Select the Add programs  push button if you want to migrate any
  other programs on your hard disk that were not found in the
  default database. When you select this push button, you see the
  Additional Programs window. This window lists all programs on
  the specified drives of your hard disk. You can choose which of
  these programs you want to migrate. Any DOS programs are
  placed in the Additional DOS Programs folder. Any Microsoft
  Windows programs are placed in the Additional Windows
  Programs folder. These folders will be visible on your OS/2
  desktop after installation is completed.

  Note that general settings are applied to these additional
  programs. You can change the settings to enhance the
  performance of the programs after the programs are migrated.

  Refer to the settings  entry of the online Master Help Index after
  installation for information on changing settings.

  The Migrate Applications  choice is also available to you after
  installation. To migrate programs after installation, select System
  Setup  from the OS/2 System folder. Then, select Migrate
  Applications.

  Configuring Your WIN-OS/2 Desktop Appearance

  Select Configure WIN-OS/2 Desktop  to indicate how you want
  WIN-OS/2 to look. You can install WIN-OS/2 with the standard
  interface provided by OS/2 2.0. You can make WIN-OS/2 look like
  an existing version of Microsoft Windows if you currently have it
  installed. If you select this choice, you can also choose to update
  your existing version of Microsoft Windows to look like WIN-OS/2

  whenever it changes. Finally, you can choose to preserve how
  WIN-OS/2 currently looks if you have previously installed OS/2 2.0
  with WIN-OS/2 support.

  Migrating Your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT Files

  Select Migrate CONFIG.SYS/AUTOEXEC.BAT  to copy customization
  information from your existing operating system to OS/2 2.0. This
  choice is available only if a previous operating system exists on
  the hard disk.

  Note:   If you select Automatically update CONFIG.SYS and
  AUTOEXEC.BAT  from the Migrate
  CONFIG.SYS/AUTOEXEC.BAT window, you will notice that
  some device driver statements from the existing
  CONFIG.SYS file are copied to the new file but are preceded
  by the word ■REM┐ (remark). These device driver
  statements are preceded by ■REM┐ because some device

  drivers that were designed to operate with previous
  versions of DOS or the OS/2 operating system might not
  operate correctly with OS/2 2.0. The word ■REM┐causes
  the device driver to be inactive.

  You can edit the CONFIG.SYS file after installation,
  removing the word ■REM┐ from the lines that you want to
  be active. Save a copy of the CONFIG.SYS file before you
  modify it. If a device driver subsequently causes problems,
  you can use the procedures described later in this book to
  recover the CONFIG.SYS file.

  For specific information about these choices and for help using the
  choices, press F1 or select the Help  push button.

  Chapter 3. Adding OS/2 2.0 to a DOS System
  (Dual Boot)

  This chapter describes how to install OS/2 2.0 on a hard disk that

  already has DOS installed so that you can use both operating
  systems. The OS/2 2.0 operating system is installed along with
  DOS in the primary partition of your hard disk.

  By following the procedures in this chapter, you set up your
  system to use Dual Boot. With Dual Boot, you can switch back and
  forth between your existing version of DOS and OS/2 2.0.
  Note:  It is assumed that DOS is already installed on your system

  and that you are familiar with using DOS.

  You will add OS/2 2.0 to the same partition in which DOS resides.
  Keep in mind that, if you install this way, your existing version of
  DOS and OS/2 2.0 do not operate at the same time. You switch
  between the operating systems using the BOOT command. (When
  OS/2 2.0 is running, you can still take advantage of the DOS
  sessions that are part of OS/2 2.0.)


  Dual Boot Requirements

  Before you begin the procedures in this chapter, you should be
  aware of the following:

   DOS Version 3.2 or higher must be installed on your hard disk.
  OS/2 2.0 will work with DOS Version 3.2; however, to take full
  advantage of OS/2 capabilities, use DOS Version 3.3 or higher.
   The DOS operating system must exist on drive C before the

  OS/2 operating system is installed. The Dual Boot feature is
  operable only after  OS/2 2.0 is installed.
   DOS uses the FAT file system only. Because OS/2 2.0 and
  DOS exist in the same partition, you cannot use the High
  Performance File System with the Dual Boot feature.

   The DOS partition on your hard disk must be active. (Use the
  FDISK utility program of DOS if you want to check to see if the
  DOS partition is active.) Be sure that the DOS operating


  +  Copyright IBM Corp. 1992 25

















1 ******************** Page: 26       ********************


  system installed is the version you wish to use with the Dual
  Boot feature.
   Your primary partition must be large enough to accommodate

  both the DOS and OS/2 operating systems. (Note that the size
  of OS/2 2.0 depends upon which features you install.) You
  should consider the size of both operating systems and also
  leave room for the growth of a swap file. (A swap file contains
  segments of a program or data temporarily moved out of main
  storage.) A typical swap file is between 4MB and 8MB.

  For example, if your DOS system currently takes up 4MB and
  you are going to install all features of OS/2 2.0 (which require
  30MB), your primary partition should be at least 40MB. (This
  will allow room for a swap file.) If you intend to place your
  programs and data in the primary partition, the partition will
  have to be large enough to accommodate those also. If your
  existing primary partition is not large enough, use the DOS
  FDISK command to change your hard disk setup. Follow the
  instructions in your DOS documentation.

  If you already have OS/2 Version 1.2 or 1.3 with the Dual Boot
  feature installed, you must make sure the partition is large
  enough to accommodate OS/2 2.0.

   QUESTION
  Do you have OS/2 Version 1.2 or 1.3 with the Dual Boot feature

  currently installed on your hard disk? If so, go to ■Installing
  the OS/2 2.0 Operating System┐ on page 30.
















  26 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 27       ********************



  Setting Up Your System for Dual Boot
  Before you install OS/2 2.0, you will check to see that your DOS
  system is set up correctly.

   All DOS commands and utility programs must  be located in a
  subdirectory, such as C:\DOS, and not  in the root directory.
  (Most versions of DOS install the DOS commands and utility
  programs in a DOS subdirectory by default.)
   You must create or modify the DOS operating system
  CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files on your system and put

  them in the root directory of your hard disk  before  the OS/2
  operating system is installed. This includes setting the SHELL,
  COMSPEC, PATH, and APPEND statements to find the DOS
  command files in the appropriate subdirectory.

  In the next section of this chapter, you will check to see that your
  setup meets these conditions.

  Making Sure Your DOS Directory Structure Is Correct

   1.  Start your computer using the DOS operating system that is on
  your hard disk, and go to the DOS command prompt.
   2.  For the Dual Boot feature to be installed correctly,a copy of

  your DOS CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files must be
  present in your root directory. All other DOS system files,
  including a copy of the COMMAND.COM file, must exist in a
  subdirectory.
   If your DOS system files and the COMMAND.COM file
  already exist in a subdirectory, go directly to ■Creating or

  Modifying the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS Files┐ on
  page 29.
   If your DOS system files and COMMAND.COM do not
  already exist in a subdirectory, continue to step 3.

   3.  Type the following command to createa DOS subdirectory on
  your C drive:
  MD C:\DOS

  and press Enter.



  Chapter 3. Adding OS/2 2.0 to a DOS System (Dual Boot) 27

















1 ******************** Page: 28       ********************


   4.  To make sure your root directory and DOS subdirectory are set
  up properly, follow these steps:
  a. Copy all the files from the root directory of the hard disk to

  the DOS subdirectory by typing:
  COPY C:\*.* C:\DOS

  Then press Enter.
  Note:  Although this step copies your CONFIG.SYS and
  AUTOEXEC.BAT files to the DOS subdirectory, step
  4c returns the files to where they properly belong.

  b. Delete all of your files from the root directory of the hard
  disk.
  Warning: Be sure to type the command correctly. When

  you enter the command, all files will be deleted, and you
  will not be able to recover the data. You will be asked if
  you are sure you want to use this command.
  Type:

  DEL C:\*.*
  Then press Enter.

  c. Place your existing AUTOEXEC.BAT file in the root
  directory by typing:
  COPY C:\DOS\AUTOEXEC.BAT C:\

  Then press Enter.
  Place your existing CONFIG.SYS file back in the root

  directory by typing:
  COPY C:\DOS\CONFIG.SYS C:\

  Then press Enter.
  d. Continue with ■Creating or Modifying the AUTOEXEC.BAT
  and CONFIG.SYS Files┐ on page 29.

1 ******************** Page: 29       ********************


  Creating or Modifying the AUTOEXEC.BAT and
  CONFIG.SYS Files
  Before installing the OS/2 operating system, you must create or
  modify the DOS CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files on your
  hard disk. This includes setting the SHELL, COMSPEC, PATH, and

  APPEND statements to find the DOS command files in the
  appropriate subdirectory.
   1.  To create or modify the DOS AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS
  files, use an editor (for example, EDLIN). Make sure that you
  specify the correct path for the editor. For example, if you use
  EDLIN to edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, you would type the

  following:
  C:\DOS\EDLIN C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT

  Make sure you edit the copies of AUTOEXEC.BAT and
  CONFIG.SYS that exist in the root  directory.
   2.  Add the following statements, if they do not already exist, to
  the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. (If you have DOS 5.0 installed, make
  sure you place these statements before  the C:\DOS\DOSSHELL
  statement.)

  SET COMSPEC=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM
  PATH C:\DOS
  APPEND=C:\DOS
  COPY C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\ >NUL
   3.  To the CONFIG.SYS file, add:

  Note:  These statements include the minimum required
  parameters. You can specify additional parameters if

  you wish, but be sure that the DOS directory is specified
  as indicated.
   4.  If you are using DOS Version 4.0 and you want to use the DOS

  If this change is not made, you will receive the message: Mouse
  file missing or unreadable.
   5.  Remove any diskette from drive A.

   6.  Press and hold Ctrl+Alt; then press Del to restart the system.

  If the system does not operate, review the previous steps to
  make sure you have completed all of them. Remember, you
  must have a working copy of DOS installed and it must not  be
  in the root directory.

  During OS/2 installation, OS/2 CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
  files are created. The OS/2 operating system places DOS
  CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files in the C:\OS2\SYSTEM
  subdirectory with a .DOS extension. This is to make sure that the
  OS/2 operating system uses the correct AUTOEXEC.BAT and
  CONFIG.SYS files.

  Continue with ■Installing the OS/2 2.0 Operating System.┐ Do  not
  select the format option while installing the OS/2 operating system.
  After the operating system is installed, you can start the Dual Boot

  feature. (See ■Starting the Dual Boot Feature┐ on page 32.)


  Installing the OS/2 2.0 Operating System
  If you have DOS or Microsoft Windows programs that you want to
  install, do so  before  you install the OS/2 operating system.

  To install the operating system, do the following:

   1.  Insert the Installation Diskette into drive A.
   2.  Turn on the computer.

  If the computer is already on, press and hold Ctrl+Alt, and
  then press Del to restart the system. The following screen
  appears:

   3.  Remove the Installation Diskette, insert Diskette1, and press
  Enter.

  You will be prompted at various points during installation to
  remove the diskette in drive A and to insert another diskette.
  Be sure to leave the diskette in drive A until the instructions
  direct you to replace it. You will replace diskettes several
  times before the operating system finishes copying information
  from the diskettes to the hard disk of your computer.

  Note:  If an error message is displayed while you are installing
  the operating system, see ■Responding to Installation
  Errors┐ on page 82 for an explanation of the message

  Viewing the OS/2 Tutorial

  When the operating system is installed and you have restarted the
  system, the OS/2 Tutorial is displayed. View the tutorial now to
  learn about the new features of the OS/2 operating system.


  Starting the Dual Boot Feature

  After you have installed the OS/2 operating system, you use the
  BOOT command to switch from one operating system to another:

   If you are running the OS/2 operating system and want to
  switch to DOS, select an OS/2 command prompt from the
  Command Prompts folder. (The Command Prompts folder is
  located in the OS/2 System folder.) Then, type:
  BOOT /DOS

  and press Enter.
  Another way to switch to DOS is to double-click on the  Dual
  Boot  icon located in the Command Prompts folder.

   If you are running DOS and want to switch to the OS/2
  operating system, type:
  C:\OS2\BOOT /OS2

  at the DOS command prompt. Then press Enter.

  For additional information about the BOOT command, refer to
  the OS/2 Command Reference.
  Each time the system is shut down and restarted, it starts in
  whichever operating system was last being used. For example, if
  you shut down the system while DOS is running, your system will
  start in DOS the next time you turn on the system. Remember,

  however, that the OS/2 operating system and DOS do not operate
  at the same time.

  Chapter 4. Installing Multiple Operating Systems
  (Boot Manager)

  This chapter describes how you can install multiple operating

  systems on the hard disk of your computer. To install multiple
  operating systems, you will set up multiple partitions on the hard
  disk during the installation of the OS/2 operating system. You will
  also install the Boot Manager feature.

  After the Boot Manager is installed and all the operating systems
  are installed in their own partitions, you use the Boot Manager
  startup menu to select one of the operating systems. Each time
  you start your system, you decide which operating system you
  want to be active.


  How This Chapter is Organized

  This chapter is separated into three major sections. It is
  recommended that you read the entire chapter.

  An Overview of the Boot Manager

  If you are going to install multiple operating systems, you can use
  the Boot Manager feature to manage the selective startup of those
  systems. From the Boot Manager startup menu, you can select
  which operating system you want to use each time you start your
  system.

  The following is an example of a Boot Manager startup menu that
  includes three operating systems.

















  You use the FDISK utility program during the installation of OS/2
  2.0 to install the Boot Manager feature. FDISK is a program
  supplied with OS/2 2.0 that can be used to manage such tasks as
  creating and deleting the partitions on your hard disk.

  The following is a brief list of the steps you follow to set up your
  hard disk for multiple operating systems. These steps are
  described in detail later in this chapter. Examples are provided in
  Appendix C, ■Examples of Installing OS/2 2.0 and Partitioning Your
  Hard Disk┐ on page 85.

   You install the Boot Manager in its own partition (1MB in size).
   You then create partitions for any operating systems (including
  OS/2 2.0) you are going to install.

   Next, you install the OS/2 2.0 operating system.
   Finally, you can install the other operating systems in the

  partitions you created for them.
  If you prefer, you can install the other operating systems at a
  later time.

  Important: You should understand how a hard disk is partitioned
  before you begin your installation. Make sure you read the
  following section on hard disk management.


























  Chapter 4. Installing Multiple Operating Systems (Boot Manager) 35

















1 ******************** Page: 36       ********************



  Hard Disk Management

  During installation, you have the option of installing the OS/2
  operating system in one partition that takes up the entire hard
  disk. If, however, you choose to separate your hard disk into
  multiple partitions, you see the FDISK screen.

  From the FDISK screen, you specify the number and type of
  partitions that you want created. You can create primary
  partitions, which are typically used for operating systems. You can
  also create logical drives in an area of the hard disk that is outside
  the primary partitions. This area is known as the extended
  partition. The logical drives within the extended partition are
  typically used to hold programs and data.

  Your hard disk can be separated into a maximum of four partitions.
  You can have four primary partitions or three primary partitions
  and the extended partition. If you are going to install multiple

  operating systems on your hard disk, you must create one primary
  partition to contain the programs that manage the startup of
  multiple operating systems. (This partition is referred to as the
  Boot Manager partition.)

  After the Boot Manager partition is created, you can create up to
  three additional primary partitions (to hold three operating
  systems), as in the following example:

  ▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌┘  Boot Manager
  ┌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌╗
   DOS 5.0
  ┌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌╗
   OS/2 1.3
  ┌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌╗
   OS/2 2.0
  
   ▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌

  Figure 1. Hard Disk with Four Primary Partitions

  An important aspect of primary partitions is the fact that, at any
  moment in time, only one of the primary partitions is  active. When
  a given primary partition is active, any other primary partitions


  36 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 37       ********************


  cannot be accessed. Therefore, the operating system in one
  primary partition cannot access the data in another primary
  partition.

  Another way of subdividing your hard disk is to create logical
  drives within an extended partition. Logical drives are typically
  used to hold programs and data. However, you can also install
  OS/2 2.0 in a logical drive, as in the following example:

  ▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌┘
   Boot Manager  ▌▌▌▌▌▌▀ Primary Partition

  ▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌ ▌▌▌
  Figure 2. Hard Disk with Primary Partitions and Logical Drives


  The extended partition takes the place of one of the primary
  partitions on your hard disk. In other words, if you create logical
  drives within an extended partition, your hard disk can contain
  only three primary partitions. Note that you must  have one
  primary partition in addition to the Boot Manager partition.

  In Figure 2, notice that two logical drives have been set aside for
  data. That data can be shared by all the operating systems
  (provided the file system formats of the logical drives are
  compatible with the operating systems).

  All of the logical drives exist within one partitionªthe extended
  partition. You don't explicitly create the extended partition. The
  extended partition is created the first time you create a logical
  (non-primary) drive.







  Chapter 4. Installing Multiple Operating Systems (Boot Manager) 37

















1 ******************** Page: 38       ********************


  One of the differences between a logical drive and a primary
  partition is that each logical drive is assigned a unique drive letter.
  However, all primary partitions on a hard disk share the same
  drive letter. (On the first hard disk in your system, the primary
  partitions share drive C). This means that only one primary
  partition on a hard disk can be accessed at one time. (Note that
  the Boot Manager partition is different from other primary
  partitions because it is never assigned a drive letter.)

  ▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌
  Figure 3. Drive Letter Assignment Example

  Notice the drive letter assignments in this illustration. The

  operating system that is active when you start the system
  performs a process known as drive mapping , in which partitions
  and logical drives are assigned drive letters. All the primary
  partitions are mapped first and all logical drives within extended
  partitions are assigned subsequent drive letters (up through Z).

  Only one primary partition per hard disk can be active at a time.
  So, only one primary partition is actually assigned the letter C at
  any one time. The other primary partitions are not mapped.











  38 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 39       ********************


  An operating system maps only those drives with a format type
  that it supports. For example, DOS does not support the
  installable file system (IFS) format. (The High Performance File
  System is an example of an IFS format.) Therefore, any partition
  or logical drive that is formatted with IFS is not mapped by DOS
  and is not assigned a drive letter.

  In the following figure, DOS is active in a primary partition. (The
  other primary partitions are not mapped.) Drive D is formatted for
  the File Allocation Table (FAT) file system, which DOS recognizes.

  However, the next drive is formatted with a file system that DOS
  does not  recognize. Therefore, DOS ignores this drive. Some
  versions of DOS (such as DOS Version 5.0) will recognize the last
  partition on the hard disk (in this example) and assign it the letter
  E. In other versions of DOS, no drives beyond the HPFS drive are
  recognized. Therefore, no data in those partitions can be used by
  DOS.

  Figure 4. Example of Drive Mapping. This example illustrates the
  problem that can result when the operating system does not recognize a
  file format. You can avoid such a problem by placing the logical drive
  formatted for the High Performance File System at the end of the hard
  disk.

  Because of the problems that can result when drives are
  remapped, you should avoid deleting logical drives that exist in the
  middle of your hard disk. For example, if you were to delete a
  logical drive from the middle of your disk, the subsequent drives
  would be remapped. (Drive F would become drive E, and so on.)


  Chapter 4. Installing Multiple Operating Systems (Boot Manager) 39

















1 ******************** Page: 40       ********************


  Problems would result if any programs refer to the former drive
  letter.

  The following figure is an example of how drives are mapped in a
  system that has two hard disks.

  Figure 5. Example of Drive Mapping ina System with Two Hard Disks

  The important thing to remember when you are setting up your
  system is that only one primary partition can be accessible (active)
  on each hard disk at any system startup. On the other hand, all
  the logical drives within the extended partition are accessible
  (provided their file system formats are compatible with the starting
  operating system).

  Planning for a Boot Manager Setup

  When you are planning your Boot Manager setup, be aware of the
  following:

   If you want to preserve existing partitions on your hard disk,
  you can install the Boot Manager partition at the end of the
  hard disk. Otherwise, create the Boot Manager partition at the
  beginning of the hard disk.
   Use primary partitions for DOS systems or previous releases

  of the OS/2 operating system.
   To prevent hard disk fragmentation and loss of usable disk
  space, create all primary partitions contiguously, at the
  beginning or end of the disk free space area.

   Put all installable file systems (such as the High Performance
  File System) at the end of the disk configuration. As
  mentioned earlier, some operating systems do not recognize
  installable file systems. By placing all installable file systems
  at the end of the disk, you can prevent the problem that results
  when drives are remapped.

   Be aware of specific operating-system restrictions on the hard
  disk. For example, to run properly, DOS 3.3 must be installed
  in a primary partition that is within the first 32MB of the hard
  disk.

   If you are installing a primary partition for DOS and you intend
  to load that version of DOS into a DOS session of OS/2 2.0, you
  will need to change the DOS CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
  files. (You do this after you finish installing the operating
  systems.) Refer to  starting specific version  in the  DOS  topic of
  the Master Help Index. (The Master Help Index is displayed on
  your screen after the OS/2 operating system is installed.)

   You can install both DOS and a version of the OS/2 operating
  system in the same primary partition if you want to use the
  Dual Boot feature within your Boot Manager setup. However,
  you will have to copy the BOOT.COM file from the OS/2 2.0
  partition to the primary partition after you install OS/2 2.0.





  Chapter 4. Installing Multiple Operating Systems (Boot Manager) 41

















1 ******************** Page: 42       ********************


   If you are using the IBM*  DOS 5.00 Upgrade to update your
  DOS 3.3 or DOS 4.0 system, you should be aware that some
  versions of the upgrade will not recognize the DOS partition
  unless it is the only partition on the hard disk. You might have
  to do the following:

   1.  Make sure that the DOS partition is the only primary
  partition on your hard disk.
   2.  Install the DOS 5.00 Upgrade.
   3.  Add the Boot Manager partition and install OS/2 2.0.

  Note that an example of adding the Boot Manager to an
  existing system is outlined in ■Example 4: Installing Boot
  Manager without Repartitioning the Entire Hard Disk┐ on
  page 92.

  In the previous screen, note the following:
   The Boot Manager partition is marked Startable. When you
  start your system, the Boot Manager will be in control. You

  can then choose which operating system you want to run.
   DOS 3.3 and DOS 5.0 are set up in primary partitions.
  However, only DOS Version 3.3 is accessible. Notice that the
  drive letter (C) is displayed on the line that contains
  information about the DOS 3.3 partition. The placement of the
  drive letter indicates which of the primary partitions will be

  active at the next system startup.
  DOS and previous versions of the OS/2 operating system can
  reside only in a primary partition on the first hard disk. They
  cannot reside in a logical drive within the extended partition.

   OS/2 2.0 resides in a logical drive in the extended partition
  (drive D in this example). Remember that OS/2 2.0 can reside
  in either a primary partition or in a logical drive within the
  extended partition.

   The logical drive labeled E is set aside for common tools or
  programs that can be shared by the operating systems.
   55MB of free space is available. This area can be set aside for
  future use. For example, you could later add logical drives at
  the end of the free space without disturbing any currently
  installed partitions.

  Getting Ready for Installation

  To partition your hard disk and install multiple operating systems,
  you will follow the steps that are described in detail in the next
  section. An overview of the steps is provided in the following list.
  Examples of setting up your hard disk for multiple operating
  systems are provided in Appendix C, ■Examples of Installing OS/2
  2.0 and Partitioning Your Hard Disk┐ on page 85.

   1.  Begin the installation of OS/2 2.0.

   2.  Set upa partition for the Boot Manager.
   3.  Set up any primary partitions on the first hard disk that you
  want to use to install other operating systems.

  Note:  At this point, you can also set up logical drives within
  the extended partition for data or programs.
   4.  Set up the primary partition or logical drive for OS/2 2.0.

   5.  Install OS/2 2.0 in that primary partition or logical drive.
  After you have installed OS/2 2.0, you can install the other

  operating systems in the primary partitions that you set up in step
  3.

  Note that OS/2 installation does not control the installation of the
  other operating systems. Each operating system must be installed
  with its own installation package.

  In the procedure that follows, the partitions for other operating
  systems are created first, and then the partition (or logical drive)
  for OS/2 2.0 is created. It is not necessary to create the partitions
  in this order. If you prefer, you can create the OS/2 partition (or
  logical drive) first, and then create the other partitions.

  Back up your files!

  If you are going to change an existing partition on your hard
  disk, you must back up the data or programs in that partition
  before you begin installation. If you do not back up the data or
  programs before you repartition, they will be deleted. Refer to
  the documentation for your operating system for more
  information about backing up the files.

  To set up your system, you must make sure there is enough room
  on your hard disk to accommodate the desired setup. It might be
  necessary for you to delete some or all of the existing partitions on
  your hard disk.

  For example, if your hard disk currently has only one partition that
  takes up the entire hard disk, you must delete that partition.
  However, if your hard disk has ample free space, you can keep

  one or more existing partitions and add to them. (An example of
  installing the Boot Manager and OS/2 2.0 while preserving an
  existing partition is shown in ■Example 4: Installing Boot Manager
  without Repartitioning the Entire Hard Disk┐ on page 92.)

  Note that any changes you specify on the FDISK screen do not
  actually go into effect until you press F3 to exit FDISK. You will
  then be asked to confirm that you want to save your changes.

  Warning:  All information you want to save must be backed up.
  Changing the size of a partition deletes all information about that
  partition, and the entire operating system must be reinstalled
  when the new partition is created.

   1.  Use the Up Arrow(«) or Down Arrow(») key to highlight the
  partition you want to delete.

   2.  Press Enter to display the Options menu.

















  Chapter 4. Installing Multiple Operating Systems (Boot Manager) 49

















1 ******************** Page: 50       ********************





















   3.  Select Delete partition and press Enter.
  Notice that the information about the partition is deleted. The
  words Free Space  are displayed in the space formerly occupied
  by the partition information.

   4.  Repeat steps1 through3 for any other partitions that you need
  to delete.

   5.  When you are finished deleting partitions, continue to
  ■Creating the Boot Manager Partition.┐

  Creating the Boot Manager Partition

  The first partition you create is the Boot Manager partition. To
  create this partition:

   1.  Make sure that the Free  Space line is highlighted. If it is not,
  press the Up Arrow (« ) or Down Arrow (» ) key until it is
  highlighted.
   2.  Press Enter to display the Options menu.

   3.  Select Install Boot Manager and press Enter.

   4.  Specify whether the partition should be at the beginning or the
  end of the available space on the hard disk.


  50 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 51       ********************


  Note:  It is recommended that you install the Boot Manager
  partition at the beginning of the hard disk. However,
  the only restriction on the placement of the Boot
  Manager partition is that it be within the first 1GB
  (gigabyte) of the disk space. (A gigabyte is equal to 1
  073 741 824 bytes, or 1024MB.)

  The procedures that follow show you how to create partitions for
  other operating systems before you create the partition or logical
  drive for OS/2 2.0. It is not necessary to create the partitions in

  this order. If you prefer, you can create the partition or logical
  drive for OS/2 2.0 before you create the other partitions.

  Creating Partitions for Operating Systems Other than
  OS/2 2.0 and for Logical Drives

  After you create the partition for the Boot Manager, create primary
  partitions for any DOS versions or previous versions of the OS/2
  operating system that you are going to install. At this time, you
  can also create any logical drives for data or programs. (Some

  operating systems, such as AIX, require that their own disk utility
  program create the installation partition. The OS/2 2.0 FDISK
  utility program cannot create the partition for these operating
  systems.)

  If you are creating only one partition (for OS/2 2.0), go to ■Creating
  the Partition or Logical Drive for OS/2 2.0┐ on page 56. Otherwise,
  follow these steps to create partitions and logical drives:
   1.  Make sure that the Free  Space line is highlighted. If it is not,

  press the Up Arrow (« ) or Down Arrow (» ) key until it is
  highlighted.
   2.  Press Enter to display the Options menu.

   3.  Select Create partition and press Enter.
   4.  Type the size (in MB) of the partition you are creating. Use the
  following chart to help you determine a minimum size for the
  partition. Note that some products (such as Extended Services

  for OS/2) require extra space in the OS/2 partition, even if you
  are installing them in their own partitions. For more specific
  information about partition sizes, see the documentation that


  Chapter 4. Installing Multiple Operating Systems (Boot Manager) 51

















1 ******************** Page: 52       ********************


  came with the product you are installing. For example, if you
  are installing Extended Services for OS/2, refer to the  Extended
  Services of OS/2 Hardware and Software Reference  for specific
  guidance.

  Table 1. Planning Table for Partition Sizes

  Contents Size Hard Disk Considerations
  DOS 3.3 2MB Must be in a primary partition within the
  first 32MB on the first hard disk.

  DOS 4.0 3MB Must be in a primary partition on the first
  hard disk.
  DOS 5.0 4MB Must be in a primary partition on the first
  hard disk.
  OS/2 1.x 20MB Must be in a primary partition on the first
  SE hard disk. Installs in less than 20MB, but
  segment swapping is inhibited.

  OS/2 1.x EE 30MB Must be in a primary partition on the first hard disk. Installs in less than 30MB with
  reduced function.

  OS/2 2.0 15-30MB Can be in a primary partition or logical
  drive. Installs in less than 20MB with
  reduced function. If you choose a
  minimum size for the partition, you might
  want to place the swap file on another
  partition. To do this, select Select
  features and install  from the OS/2 Setup and Installation window. Then, select
  Software configuration.

  AIX Partition size determined and built by AIX
  Disk utility program. Partition is created
  at the end of the hard disk.

  Place system tools or common applications in a logical drive
  within the extended partition so that the data can be shared
  among the operating systems.








  52 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 53       ********************


   5.  Specify whether this isa primary partition ora logical drive
  within the extended partition. Consider the following:
   All versions of DOS must reside in primary partitions on

  the first hard disk. Versions of OS/2 before 2.0 must also
  reside in primary partitions.
  ╟ Your hard disk can be separated into a maximum of
  three primary partitions (in addition to the Boot
  Manager partition.) If you are going to create logical
  drives within an extended partition, you can set up two

  primary partitions (in addition to the Boot Manager
  partition).
  ╟ Remember that primary partitions cannot share data.

   Logical drives within an extended partition are  shareable.
  This means that any data installed in the logical drive can
  be used by an operating system running from any other
  active logical drive on the system, if the file system formats
  are compatible.

   6.  Specify the location of the partition or logical drive you want to
  create. Select either Create at Start of Free Space  or Create
  at End of Free Space. Note that the logical drives cannot be
  intermixed with primary partitions.
  Note:  This option is not available when the amount of free
  space equals the size of the request.

  Once you have set up the partition, you use the Options menu

  choices to specify information about the partition.















  Chapter 4. Installing Multiple Operating Systems (Boot Manager) 53

















1 ******************** Page: 54       ********************


  Options Menu Choices

  The following list describes each of the choices on the Options
  menu. Note that some of the options are available under certain
  conditions only. If you press Enter when an unavailable choice is
  highlighted, the system will respond with a warning beep.

  Install Boot Manager
  This choice is used only onceªwhen you create the
  partition for the Boot Manager. It is unavailable
  thereafter.
  Create partition

  This choice is used to create primary partitions and
  logical drives within the extended partition. You can
  use this choice whenever there is free space available
  on the hard disk.
  Add to Boot Manager menu
  This choice is used to add the name of a partition or
  logical drive to the Boot Manager startup menu. You

  should use this choice for any operating system that
  you want to be able to select when you start the
  system. When you select this choice, the New Name
  window is displayed. You use the New Name window
  to assign a meaningful name to the partition or logical
  drive.

  Change partition name
  This choice is used to change the name that you have
  previously assigned to a partition or logical drive.
  Assign C: partition
  This choice is used to specify which primary partition
  you want to be active (when more than one primary
  partition is installed on your system). The placement of

  the drive letter (C) tells you which primary partition will
  be visible (or accessible ) after you restart the system.
  Set startup values
  This choice is used to specify the actions of the Boot
  Manager startup menu. For example, with Set startup
  values, you can specify how long you want the Boot
  Manager menu to be displayed before the default



  54 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 55       ********************


  operating system is started. You can also specify which
  operating system you want as the default.
  Remove from Boot Manager menu

  This choice is used to delete a name from the Boot
  Manager startup menu. When you delete the name,
  you can no longer select the operating system
  associated with that name from the Boot Manager
  startup menu.
  Delete partition

  This choice is used to delete information about a
  primary partition or logical drive. After you exit from
  FDISK, all the data in the partition or logical drive is
  deleted.
  Set installable
  This choice is used to mark a partition or logical drive
  as the target for installation. For example, before you

  install OS/2 2.0, you set one primary partition (or logical
  drive) as installable. Later, when you install other
  operating systems, you mark their partitions as
  installable before you actually install the operating
  systems.
  After you install the operating system, the status of this
  partition is changed from Installable  to Bootable.

  Make startable
  This choice is used to determine which primary
  partition is activated when you start your system. When
  you install the Boot Manager, it is automatically marked
  as startable. This means that the Boot Manager is in
  control when you start your system. Only one primary

  partition on the first hard disk can be made startable. If
  you set any other primary partition startable, the Boot
  Manager startup menu will not appear when you start
  the system.

  Specifying Options

  To specify options for the partition you just created:
   1.  Press Enter to display the Options menu.

   2.  Select Add to Boot Manager menu if you want this partition
  displayed on the Boot Manager startup menu. If you do not
  select this choice for the partition, you cannot select the
  operating system that exists in this partition from the menu at
  startup time.

  a. If you select Add to Boot Manager menu , you see the
  window in which you are asked to type a name for the
  partition. Type the name.

  b. Press the Enter key.

  If you have additional partitions to set up, follow the instructions
  outlined in ■Creating Partitions for Operating Systems Other than
  OS/2 2.0 and for Logical Drives┐ on page 51. Otherwise, continue
  to ■Creating the Partition or Logical Drive for OS/2 2.0.┐

  Creating the Partition or Logical Drive for OS/2 2.0

  After you have created the partitions for the Boot Manager and for
  each of the other operating systems you plan to install, create the
  partition or logical drive in which you will install OS/2 2.0. OS/2

  2.0 can be installed in either a primary partition or a logical drive
  within the extended partition.

  Important:  Some operating systems, such as AIX, use their own
  disk utility program to set up partitions. The partitions for such
  operating systems are created when you actually install the
  operating systems. You must leave sufficient space on the hard
  disk to accommodate these operating systems.

  To create the partition or logical drive for OS/2 2.0:

   1.  Make sure that the Free  Space line is highlighted. If it is not,
  press the Up Arrow (« ) or Down Arrow (» ) key until it is
  highlighted.
   2.  Press Enter to display the Options menu.



  56 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 57       ********************


   3.  Select Create partition and press Enter.
   4.  Type the size (in MB) of the partition or logical drive you are
  creating. If you are going to install all features of OS/2 2.0, you

  need a partition of at least 30MB.
   5.  Specify whether this partition isa primary partition ora logical
  drive within the extended partition.

  If you have already marked three partitions as primary
  partitions, you might want to select Extended Logical Drive  for
  OS/2 2.0. Your hard disk can be made up of a maximum of
  four primary partitions or three primary partitions and multiple
  logical drives within one extended partition. So, if you create a
  primary partition for OS/2 2.0 when three primary partitions
  already exist, you cannot create any logical drives.

   6.  Specify the location of the partition or logical drive you want to
  create.
  Note:  This option is not available when the amount of free
  space equals the size of the request.


  Specifying Options for the OS/2 2.0 Partition or Logical
  Drive

  Once you have set up the partition or logical drive, you use the
  Options menu choices to specify certain information. For example,
  you use the Options menu to indicate which partition or logical
  drive to use for OS/2 2.0 installation.

  To specify options:

   1.  Press Enter to display the Options menu.
   2.  Highlight Add to Boot Manager menu and press Enter.

   3.  Type the name you want to assign to this partition or logical
  drive, and press Enter.

   4.  Press Enter to display the Options menu.
   5.  Highlight Set installable and press Enter.

  You must select Set installable  for this partition or logical drive.

  Note that it is not necessary to install the operating systems now.
  If you prefer, you can install them at a later time.























  62 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 63       ********************



  Installing Other Operating Systems

  When the Boot Manager and OS/2 2.0 are installed, you can install
  the other operating systems.
  Do you have more than one primary partition?


  If you set up more than one primary partition (other than the
  Boot Manager partition) when you set up your hard disk, follow
  this procedure before  you begin the installation of the operating
  systems.

  You need to indicate which primary partition should be used for
  the operating system you are installing. For example, suppose
  three partitions (in addition to the Boot Manager partition) are
  set up on your hard disk: two primary partitions and one
  extended partition containing logical drives. If you want to
  install OS/2 Version 1.3 in the first primary partition, you have
  to make sure that the first primary partition is marked as
  installable.


  To set the partition to installable, do the following:
   1.  Double-click on OS/2 System.
   2.  Highlight Drives and press mouse button2 to displaya
  pop-up menu for Drives.
   3.  Select Create partition.

  The drive letter (for example, C:) is shown next to the primary
  partition that is active. (Remember that only one primary
  partition can be active, or accessible, at a time.) If the partition
  in which you want to install the operating system is  not  the
  active primary partition, do the following:

   1.  Highlight the partition in which you want to install the
  operating system.
   2.  Select Options from the menu bar.
   3.  Select Set installable.
   4.  Select Options from the menu bar.
   5.  Select Exit.
   6.  Select the Save push button from the window that is
  displayed.



  Chapter 4. Installing Multiple Operating Systems (Boot Manager) 63

















1 ******************** Page: 64       ********************


  Once you set the correct primary partition as installable (if you
  have more than one primary partition), you can begin the
  installation of the other operating systems.

  Note:  If you are going to install DOS and a version of the OS/2
  operating system in the same  primary partition, refer to
  Chapter 3, ■Adding OS/2 2.0 to a DOS System (Dual Boot)┐
  on page 25 for instructions. Remember that to use the Dual
  Boot feature, you must install DOS in the partition  before
  you install the OS/2 operating system.

   1.  Insert the installation diskette from the operating system you
  are installing. Then, press and hold Ctrl+Alt, and press Del to
  restart the system.
   2.  During installation, make sure that you install the operating
  system in the desired partition. If you are asked whether you
  want to format the partition, indicate that you do. FDISK sets
  up partitions but does not format them.

   3.  Press and hold Ctrl+Alt, and press Del to restart the system.

   4.  If you installed OS/2 Version 1.3 or DOS Version 5.0, you will
  need to make the Boot Manager partition startable. You
  should also follow the steps outlined below if, for any reason,
  the Boot Manager startup menu does not appear as you
  specified it during installation of OS/2 2.0. (For example, if you
  installed multiple operating systems and wanted the Boot
  Manager startup menu to appear but, instead, one of the other
  operating systems starts, you would need to make the Boot
  Manager partition startable. In DOS terminology, this is the
  same as making the partition  active .) You can use the version
  of FDISK (or its equivalent) from the operating system that is
  active to make the Boot Manager partition startable. Or, you

  can do the following:
  a. Insert the OS/2 Installation Diskette  into drive A.
  b. Press and hold Ctrl+Alt, and press Del to restart the
  system.
  c. When prompted to do so, remove the Installation Diskette,
  insert  Diskette 1 , and press Enter.
  d. When the Welcome screen is displayed, remove the

  diskette from drive A.



  64 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 65       ********************


  e. Press and hold Ctrl+Alt, and press Del to restart the
  system.
   5.  If one of your primary partitions is set up for Dual Boot, copy

  the BOOT.COM file from OS/2 2.0 to the Dual Boot partition.
  (Copying the BOOT.COM file will replace the versions supplied
  by the other operating systems.)
   6.  If you have installed AIX, add it to the Boot Manager startup
  menu. With OS/2 running, do the following:

  a. Double-click on OS/2 System.
  b. Highlight Drives  and press mouse button 2 to display a
  pop-up menu for Drives.
  c. Select Create partitions.
  d. When the Fixed Disk Utility window is displayed, highlight
  the line that contains information about AIX.
  e. Select Options  from the menu bar.
  f. Select Add to Boot Manager menu.

  g. Type a name for the partition and press Enter.
  h. Select Options  from the menu bar.
  i. Select Exit.
  j. Select the Save  push button from the window that is
  displayed.
  You will now be able to select AIX from the Boot Manager
  startup menu.

   7.  Restore any programs or data that you backed up before you
  started the OS/2 installation.

  Chapter 5. Using a Response File to Install

  This chapter describes how to use a response file to install OS/2
  2.0. It is intended primarily for people who will be setting up
  workstations for others.


  Understanding the Response File Installation


  If you have installed a previous version of the OS/2 operating
  system or if you have installed other operating systems, you are
  probably familiar with the typical installation procedure: you insert
  diskettes and answer screen prompts. When you use a response
  file, it is not necessary to answer any prompts. All the answers
  are in the response file. You place the response file on  Diskette 1
  and begin the installation as usual. The installation program will
  read the file (instead of prompting the user) for the installation
  information.


  Modifying the Response File

  A response file is included on the OS/2 installation diskettes.
  When you install the operating system, this response file (named

  SAMPLE.RSP) is placed in the OS2\INSTALL directory. So, after
  you install the operating system on your own system, you can
  modify the sample response file and then use it for installation on
  another workstation. You use an editor (such as the System
  Editor) to modify the response file.














  +  Copyright IBM Corp. 1992 67

  The following is an excerpt from the beginning of the sample
  response file:

  removed when you modify the file. If you do not modify a
  response, the default value is used.

  For example, suppose you want to set up a system in which no
  CD-ROM support is required. In the response file, you would
  indicate that no support be installed by entering:

  CDROM=0

  Copying the Response File to a 3.5-Inch Diskette

  The following is a list of the steps you would perform to modify a
  response file and then place the response file on a copy of
  Diskette 1.

   1.  Makea copy of Diskette1. You will modify the copy.
   2.  Makea copy of the SAMPLE.RSP file (located in the
  OS2\INSTALL directory).

   3.  Use an editor (such as the System Editor) to modify and save
  the file. The file contains comments that explain each of the
  installation options. To save space when you copy the
  response file to diskette, delete the commented lines when you
  modify the file.

   4.  Copy the modified response file to the copy you made of
  Diskette 1. Use the name OS2SE20.RSP when you copy the
  file.

   5.  Copy the RSPINST.EXE file (located in the OS2\INSTALL
  directory) to the copy of  Diskette 1.
   6.  Begin the installation of the workstation by inserting the

  Copying the Response File to a 5.25-Inch Diskette

  The following is a list of the steps you would perform to modify a
  response file and then place the response file on a copy of
  Diskette 1. To copy the response file onto a 5.25-inch diskette, you
  must make some modifications to  Diskette 1. These modifications
  make room on the diskette for the response file.

   1.  Makea copy of Diskette1. You will modify the copy.
   2.  Make extra room on the copy of Diskette1 by deleting files that

  will not be needed in a response file installation:
  a. Delete the MOUSE.SYS file from the copy of  Diskette 1.

  b. Delete the SYSINST2.EXE file from the copy of  Diskette 1.
  c. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file that exists on the copy of  Diskette
  1.

  1) Change the SET OS2_ SHELL statement from:
  set os2_ shell=sysinst2.exe

  to:
  set os2_ shell=rspinst.exe a:\os2se20.rsp

  2) Delete the following statement:
  device=\mouse.sys

   3.  Makea copy of the SAMPLE.RSP file (located in the
  OS2\INSTALL directory).
   4.  Use an editor (such as the System Editor) to modify and save

  the file. The file contains comments that explain each of the
  installation options. Make sure you delete the commented
  lines when you modify the file.
   5.  Copy the modified response file to the copy you made of
  Diskette 1. Use the name OS2SE20.RSP when you copy the
  file.

   6.  Copy the RSPINST.EXE file (located in the OS2\INSTALL
  directory) to the copy of  Diskette 1.

   7.  Begin the installation of the workstation by inserting the
  Installation Diskette  and restarting the system.

   8.  When prompted, insert the modified copy of Diskette1, and
  press Enter.

  From this point, the installation program will prompt only for the
  insertion of diskettes. No other installation screens will appear.


  Installing OS/2 2.0 from a Source Other than Drive A

  You can use a response file to direct the installation to a source
  other than drive A. For example, in a local area network, you
  could direct the installation to a drive on the server. This type of
  installation requires additional software (such as a LAN support
  product). For information on using a response file to redirect
  installation, refer to  Remote Installation and Maintenance for OS/2
  Version 2.0  (GG24-3780).

  Appendix B. Diagnosing System Problems

  The operating system provides several programs that help you
  gather diagnostic information when system problems occur so that
  you can isolate and correct these problems. You can learn more
  about these programs and the assistance they provide by selecting
  topics under the Problem determination  heading in the Master

  Help Index.

  If your system cannot be started, however, it is not possible to run
  these programs or to get online help. This appendix provides
  information about such system failures and about how to recover
  from them. The following problems and their recovery procedures
  are described in this appendix:
   An invalid CONFIG.SYS file

   A corrupted INI file
   Hard disk errors
   Installation errors
   Failure of Boot Manager to start.
  Note:  Backing up your system regularly may help you avoid
  having to re-create files in the event of a system failure.



  Recovering the CONFIG.SYS File
  The CONFIG.SYS file contains command statements that are used
  to configure your system during startup. If the file is changed
  incorrectly, you might not be able to restart the system or edit the
  file. (For example, some programs write information to the
  CONFIG.SYS file when they are installed. In some cases, this
  information can cause the CONFIG.SYS file to be unusable.) To
  recover the original version of the CONFIG.SYS file (as it was

  created when OS/2 2.0 was installed), you can use the following
  procedure:
   1.  Insert the Installation Diskette into drive A.

   2.  Turn on the computer. If the computer is already on, press
  and hold Ctrl+Alt, and press Del to restart the system.

   3.  When you are prompted to do so, remove the Installation
  Diskette  and insert  Diskette 1.
   4.  Press Enter.

   5.  When the Welcome screen is displayed, press Esc to display
  the command prompt.

   6.  Change to the drive where your operating system resides. For
  example, if the operating system is in drive C, type:
  C:

  and press Enter.
   7.  Rename the damaged CONFIG.SYS file. For example, type:

  REN CONFIG.SYS CONFIG.BAD
  and press Enter.

   8.  Copy the backup version of the CONFIG.SYS file to the root
  directory of the drive where your operating system resides.
  (The CONFIG.SYS backup file was created during OS/2 2.0
  installation.) For example, if the operating system is in drive
  C, type:

  COPY C:\OS2\INSTALL\CONFIG.SYS C:\CONFIG.SYS
  and press Enter.

   9.  Remove Diskette1 from drive A.
  10. Press and hold Ctrl+Alt, and press Del to restart the system.

  As mentioned earlier, this procedure reestablishes the original
  version of the CONFIG.SYS file (as it was created during OS/2 2.0
  installation). If you made any changes to the CONFIG.SYS file after
  that time, you will have to edit the newly-copied CONFIG.SYS file
  and add those changes.












  78 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 79       ********************



  Recovering the User INI File

  The OS2.INI file, also referred to as the user INI  file, is an
  operating system startup file that contains system settings such as
  application defaults, display options, and file options. The
  OS2SYS.INI file, also referred to as the  system INI  file, is an
  operating system file that contains information about installed fonts
  and printer drivers. If you receive a message that the OS2.INI file
  has been corrupted, replace both the OS2.INI file and the OS2
  SYS.INI file on your hard disk.

  Use the following procedure to replace these two files with
  versions containing default values.

   1.  Insert the Installation Diskette into drive A.
   2.  Turn on the computer. If the computer is already on, press
  and hold Ctrl+Alt, and press Del to restart the system.

   3.  When you are prompted to do so, remove the Installation
  Diskette  and insert  Diskette 1.

   4.  Press Enter.
   5.  When the Welcome screen is displayed, press Esc to display
  the command prompt.

   6.  Change to the drive where your operating system resides. For
  example, if the operating system is in drive C, type:
  C:

  and press Enter.
   7.  Change to the OS2 subdirectory. Type:

  CD  \OS2
  and press Enter.

   8.  Erase the current version of the user INI file. Type:
  ERASE  OS2.INI

  and press Enter.
   9.  Createa new user version of the user INI file. Type:

  MAKEINI OS2.INI INI.RC



  Appendix B. Diagnosing System Problems 79

















1 ******************** Page: 80       ********************


  and press Enter.
  10. Erase the current version of the system INI file. Type:

  ERASE OS2SYS.INI
  and press Enter.

  11. Create a new version of the system INI file. Type:
  MAKEINI OS2SYS.INI INISYS.RC

  and press Enter.

  12. Remove  Diskette 1  from drive A.
  13. Press and hold Ctrl+Alt, and press Del to restart the system.

  You can protect your INI files by having them automatically backed
  up each time you start your system. For example, if you include
  the following statements in your CONFIG.SYS file, a backup copy of
  your current INI files and a backup copy of the INI files as they
  existed at the previous system startup will be made. (Note that
  this example assumes that the operating system is installed on

  drive C. Use the drive on which your copy of OS/2 2.0 is installed.)
  CALL=C:\OS2\XCOPY.EXE C:\OS2\*.INX C:\OS2\*.INY
  CALL=C:\OS2\XCOPY.EXE C:\OS2\OS2*.INI C:\OS2\*.INX

  By copying the INI files this way, you will always be able to
  recover a recent version of these files in case the user INI file
  becomes corrupted.


  Recovering from Errors on the Hard Disk

  The CHKDSK command with the parameter /F can be used to
  correct disk and directory errors. However, when you use the /F
  parameter, no activity can occur on the disk. Therefore, if you
  need to correct errors on the drive from which you normally start
  the operating system, you must use the version of CHKDSK that is
  on the installation diskettes (instead of the version that has been
  installed on the hard disk).

  To correct errors on the drive from which you normally start the
  operating system:

   1.  Insert the Installation Diskette into drive A.

   2.  Turn on the computer. If the computer is already on, press
  and hold Ctrl+Alt, and press Del to restart the system.
   3.  When you are prompted to do so, remove the Installation

  Diskette  and insert  Diskette 1.
   4.  Press Enter.

   5.  When the Welcome screen is displayed, press Esc to display
  the command prompt.
   6.  Remove Diskette 1 and insert Diskette2 (the diskette that
  contains the CHKDSK command).

   7.  To correct the errors on your hard disk, type the following at
  the command prompt:
  CHKDSK C: /F

  and press Enter. (If your operating system resides on a drive
  other than C, use the appropriate drive letter instead.)

   8.  Remove the diskette from drive A.
   9.  Press and hold Ctrl+Alt, and press Del to restart the system.

  Appendix C. Examples of Installing OS/2 2.0 and
  Partitioning Your Hard Disk

  This appendix shows four examples of partitioning the hard disk of

  your system during the installation of OS/2 2.0.

  Example 1 shows you how to delete an existing partition and set
  up two areas on the hard disk: a primary partition for OS/2 2.0
  and a logical drive within the extended partition for data. The
  remaining examples show you how to set up your system so that
  you can install multiple operating systems in their own partitions.


  Example 1: Creating a Primary Partition and a Logical
  Drive for Data

  This example shows how an existing primary partition of 40MB,
  which takes up the entire hard disk space, is replaced by:

   A 30MB primary partition in which OS/2 2.0 will be installed
   A 10MB logical drive, which will be used for programs and
  data.

  This example does not involve the installation of the Boot
  Manager.

   1.  Back up any data you want to save from the existing partition.

  Appendix D. Setting up a Migration Database

  This appendix shows you how to create a database to be used by
  the Migrate Applications utility program. It is intended primarily
  for the person who is responsible for administering installation for
  other users.

  OS/2 2.0 includes a default database of specifications for certain
  DOS, Windows, and OS/2 programs. This database, which is

  installed in the OS2\INSTALL directory, is named DATABASE.DAT.
  When you install OS/2 2.0 and migrate existing DOS, Windows, and
  OS/2 programs, this default database is searched. If your existing
  DOS, Windows, and OS/2 programs are listed in the database, they
  are placed in folders on the OS/2 desktop, and the appropriate
  settings are applied to them.

  You can create your own database of DOS, Windows, and OS/2
  applications and then specify that database (instead of
  DATABASE.DAT) when you run the Migrate Applications program.
  Your database would include specific settings for DOS and
  Windows programs.


  Creating a Database Text File


  The first step is to use an editor to create a text file that lists
  settings for your programs. You can use DATABASE.TXT (the text
  file used to create the binary file, DATABASE.DAT) as a model for
  creating your own database file. The sample on the following
  page is based on the DATABASE.TXT file and is shown for
  purposes of illustration.

  Each nonblank line begins with a token that is defined in the
  DBTAGS.DAT file.

  The following example is based on the DBTAGS.DAT file and is
  shown for purposes of illustration.
  // ============================================================================
  // dbtags.dat -- DOS setting "tags" used by PARSEDB and MIGRATE.
  // ============================================================================
  // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------1 REM NOP // Comment
  2 NAME STR // Filename used to execute application
  3 TITLE STR // Icon (desktop) title
  4 TYPE BYTE // Application type
  // Valid settings: DOS, Windows, or OS/25 ASSOC_FILE STR // Associated file (NULL if one isn't
  // known)
  6 DEF_DIR STR // Default installation directory (NULL
  // if there isn't one)
  7 FOLDER STR // Name of folder to create and/or put // application icon in
  8 MOUSE_EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS BOOL // Default: off
  9 KBD_CTRL_BYPASS STR // Valid settings: NONE (default)


  The DBTAGS.DAT file includes information used by the Migrate
  Applications program (such as NAME and TITLE) as well as DOS
  settings (such as MOUSE_ EXCLUSIVE_ ACCESS and
  KBD_ CTRL_ BYPASS).

  Each program listed in the database text file  must  have at least the
  following information:

   NAME
   TITLE
   TYPE
   ASSOC_ FILE
   DEF_ DIR
  You can specify other DOS settings (in addition to

  MOUSE_ EXCLUSIVE_ ACCESS and KBD_ CTRL_ BYPASS).

  The migration information and the DOS settings are described in
  the DBTAGS.DAT file. For example, NAME refers to the name of
  the file that is used to run the program. TITLE refers to the name
  that will be shown below the icon for the program object.




  Appendix D. Setting up a Migration Database 99

















1 ******************** Page: 100      ********************


  ASSOC_ FILE is a file that is associated with the file defined in the
  NAME field. The Migration Applications program expects to find
  the associated file in the same directory as the file specified by
  NAME. DEF_ DIR is the directory in which the program will be
  installed if the default is accepted during installation.

  ASSOC_ FILE and DEF_ DIR must be entered, although you can
  specify NULL as a value for them (as in the DisplayWrite example
  on page 98.)

  As you can see, each line in the DBTAGS.DAT file contains the
  name of the setting and a type (for example, STR is the type for

  ASSOC_ FILE. The value for this setting must be a character
  string.) A complete list of the types follows:
  NOP Used for comments; any line with this type is ignored.

  STR A string value.
  INT An integer value.

  BOOL A value of ON or OFF.
  BYTE The type of program (either DOS, OS/2, or Windows).

  MLSTR A multi-line string with component lines on individual
  lines in the text database file.

  Note that you cannot edit the DBTAGS.DAT file or create a new
  one; however, the file is available as a reference when you are
  creating the database text file.


  Running the PARSEDB Utility Program

  Once your database text file is created, you run the PARSEDB
  utility program to compile the file into a binary database. To start
  PARSEDB, type the following statement from a command prompt:

  PARSEDB ^path|DBTAGS.DAT ^path|text_database ^path|binary_database

  where:
   DBTAGS.DAT is the file name that contains the definitions for
  the program settings




  100 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 101      ********************


   text_ database  is the name of the file you create that contains
  the program settings for specific DOS, OS/2, or Windows
  programs.
   binary_ database  is the name of the new database file.

  For example, type the following to create a binary database named
  MYDATA.DAT:

  PARSEDB DBTAGS.DAT MYDATA.TXT MYDATA.DAT

  Important: You must specify a file name for your binary database
  file or the Migrate Applications program will overwrite the default
  database file (DATABASE.DAT).

  PARSEDB checks the validity of all entries in MYDATA.TXT and
  compares them to the settings definitions in the DBTAGS.DAT file.
  If all entries are valid, PARSEDB creates a binary database named
  MYDATA.DAT.

  Errors in the text file cause PARSEDB to exit and display a
  message:

   A message that a file is corrupted indicates that there are
  embedded ASCII NUL characters in the text file.
   A message specifying an invalid setting indicates the use of a
  setting not found in the tag file. This message includes a line
  number and a file name.
   A message specifying that an entry has missing parameters
  indicates the absence of the minimum settings for the entry.

  Note:  PARSEDB does not check for duplicate entries in the tag file
  or the text file. It also does not require settings to be in any
  particular order and is not case sensitive.

  Once your migration database is created, you can type its name in
  the Database  field of the Find Programs window. (Find Programs
  is the first window you see after you select  Migrate Applications .)
  Any programs on the hard disk that are found in your database
  would then be migrated to the OS/2 desktop.

  Appendix E. Running Specific DOS from Within
  OS/2 2.0

  This appendix describes how you can run a specific, stand-alone

  version of DOS from the OS/2 desktop. (A specific version of DOS
  is different from a DOS session of OS/2 2.0. An example of a
  stand-alone version is DOS 4.0.)

  This appendix also provides an example of how to run DOS LAN
  Requester from the OS/2 desktop.


  Why Run DOS from Within OS/2 2.0?

  Most DOS programs run in the DOS support that is provided with
  OS/2 2.0, so most people will never need to run a specific DOS
  version from the OS/2 desktop. However, if you have a program
  that must run under the DOS operating system (rather than in a
  DOS session), you do not have to shut down OS/2 2.0 to run the
  program. You can run the program from the OS/2 desktop.

  There are three ways that you can accomplish this:

   You can install DOS in a primary partition and OS/2 2.0 in a
  logical drive within the extended partition. Then, you can set
  up a DOS session from within OS/2 2.0 that points to the DOS
  partition. (You follow the procedure in Chapter 4 to set up
  your system this way.)

   You can set up a DOS session that points to a DOS startup
  diskette inserted in a diskette drive.
   You can create a diskette image of a DOS startup diskette and

  place that image in a file in the same partition in which OS/2
  2.0 exists. Then, you set up a DOS session that points to the
  diskette image file.
  If you are going to install DOS in a separate partition, you should
  create the DOS partition during OS/2 installation. However, the
  other methods do not require any setup during installation.





  +  Copyright IBM Corp. 1992 103

















1 ******************** Page: 104      ********************


  The latter two methods are shown in the example that follows.
  More specific information about loading DOS into a DOS session
  can be found in the Master Help Index. (The Master Help Index is
  an online document that is available on your screen after
  installation.) The methods for loading DOS into a DOS session are
  described in the  starting specific version  entry of the DOS  topic.


  Example of Running DOS LAN Requester from Within

  OS/2 2.0

  In this example, assume that you have DOS and DOS LAN
  Requester on your hard disk. You have ample room to add OS/2
  2.0 to the hard disk, and you have decided that you do not want to
  repartition your disk. DOS LAN Requester requires that DOS be
  running and therefore cannot run in a DOS session. However, you
  want to be able to run DOS LAN Requester from the OS/2 desktop.
  Here are the steps you would follow:


  Set Up Your System for Dual Boot

  In this example, assume that all DOS files were installed in a DOS
  subdirectory. (DOS 4.0 installs its files in the DOS subdirectory by
  default.) Also assume that the DOS AUTOEXEC.BAT and
  CONFIG.SYS files are located in the root directory. (Again, DOS
  4.0 installs the files in the root directory by default.) Therefore,
  most of the setup procedures you need to use the Dual Boot
  feature have already been done. You will need to make one
  change to the SHELL statement of your CONFIG.SYS file.

  Using a DOS editor, edit the CONFIG.SYS file, changing the SHELL
  statement from:

  SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:2000 /P
  to:

  SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM /E:2000 /P

  DOS 4.0 places a copy of COMMAND.COM in both the DOS
  subdirectory and in the root directory. However, when OS/2 2.0 is
  installed, the copy of COMMAND.COM that exists in the root



  104 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 105      ********************


  directory is erased. Therefore, you need to change the SHELL
  statement to point to the DOS subdirectory.

  Install OS/2 2.0

  When you install OS/2 2.0, do the following:

   1.  When the Installation Drive Selection screen is displayed,
  accept drive C as your target for installation.

   2.  When you are prompted about formatting the partition, select
  Do Not Format the Partition.
  Note that you might receive the Dual Boot Warning screen during
  installation. If you changed the SHELL statement (as indicated in
  ■Set Up Your System for Dual Boot┐ on page 104), you can ignore
  this message.


  Create a DOS Startup Diskette
   1.  After OS/2 2.0 is installed, double-click on OS/2 System.

   2.  Double-click on Command Prompts.

   3.  Double-click on Dual Boot.
   4.  Once DOS 4.0 is started, createa DOS startup diskette as
  follows:

  a. Format a diskette using the FORMAT command with the /S
  option. This will create a DOS startup diskette.
  b. Enter the following COPY commands to copy three files
  from the hard disk to the diskette:

  COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS
  COPY C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
  COPY C:\OS2\MDOS\FSFILTER.SYS

  Modify the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files

  In the previous step, you copied the FSFILTER device driver to the
  DOS diskette. This device driver enables the specific version of

  DOS to access the OS/2 file system. The DEVICE statement for
  this device driver must be added to the CONFIG.SYS file on the
  DOS diskette.


  Appendix E. Running Specific DOS from Within OS/2 2.0 105

















1 ******************** Page: 106      ********************


   1.  Insert the DEVICE=FSFILTER.SYS statement before any other
  DEVICE statement in the CONFIG.SYS file on the diskette.
   2.  Delete any DEVICE= statement that is loading mouse support.

  Mouse support is provided through a separate OS/2 facility
  that will be loaded in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
   3.  Make sure that any references to files or programs in the
  CONFIG.SYS file include a drive and path extension.

  When you load a specific version of DOS from an image file on
  the hard disk, it is treated as though it were being loaded from
  drive A. DOS will not search drive C for programs unless the
  drive and path are specified. Therefore, you must modify any
  statements (for example, any DEVICE statements) to make sure
  that they refer to drive C.

  For example, change the following DEVICE statement from:
  DEVICE=\DXMC0MOD.SYS

  to:
  DEVICE=C:\DXMC0MOD.SYS

  Your CONFIG.SYS file should now look similar to this:

  BREAK=ON
  BUFFERS=50
  FILES=30
  LASTDRIVE=Z
  SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM /E:2000 /P
  DEVICE=FSFILTER.SYS
  DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
  INSTALL=C:\DOS\FASTOPEN.EXE C:=(50,25)
  DEVICE=C:\DXMA0MOD.SYS 001
  DEVICE=C:\DXMC0MOD.SYS
  DEVICE=C:\DXMT0MOD.SYS S=12 C=12 ST=12 O=Y
  FCBS=16,8
  INSTALL=C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE /F:4096 /L:25

  Make these changes to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the DOS
  diskette:
   1.  If mouse support is needed, add this line to the
  AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

  C:\OS2\MDOS\MOUSE


  106 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 107      ********************


  This assumes OS/2 2.0 is installed on drive C. If OS/2 2.0 is
  installed on a different drive, change the drive letter
  accordingly.

   2.  Make sure that any references to files or programs in the
  AUTOEXEC.BAT file include a drive and path extension.

  Create a DOS Session

  Next, create and customize a DOS session that, when started, will
  load the DOS startup diskette. (This is to verify that the diskette
  can be started correctly.)

  Do the following:

   1.  At the DOS command prompt, enter c:\os2\boot /os2 to restart
  OS/2 2.0.
   2.  Double-click on OS/2 System.

   3.  Double-click on Command Prompts.

   4.  Display the pop-up menu for DOS Window by clicking on the
  icon and then pressing mouse button 2.
   5.  Select Create another.

  Next, customize the DOS session as follows:

   1.  Point to the newly created program icon and press mouse
  button 2.
   2.  Select the arrow to the right of Open.

   3.  Select Settings.

   4.  When the DOS Settings notebook is displayed, make sure that
  the Program page is visible. If it is not, select the Program
  tab.
   5.  Type* in the Path and file name field of the Program page.

   6.  Select the Session tab, click on DOS Window, and then click on
  DOS Settings.
   7.  From the list of DOS Settings, select DOS_ STARTUP_ DRIVE. In

  the Value field, type the location from which DOS will be
  loaded.


  Appendix E. Running Specific DOS from Within OS/2 2.0 107

  A:
   8.  Select the Save push button.

   9.  Select the General tab and typea name in the Title field. This
  is the name that will appear below the icon for this DOS
  session. For example, you might want to call this ■DOS LAN
  Requester.┐

  10. Close the DOS Settings window by double-clicking on the
  title-bar icon.

  Verify That the Diskette is Startable

  Before you create an image file, make sure that the DOS diskette
  can be started. Do the following:

   1.  Make sure the diskette is inserted into drive A.
   2.  Double-click on the DOS LAN Requester icon you created in

  the previous set of steps.

  Create a Diskette Image

  After you verify that the DOS diskette can be started, use the
  VMDISK utility program to create a diskette image of the DOS
  diskette. (A file image of a diskette will load more quickly than the
  diskette. By creating the diskette image, you also eliminate the
  need to maintain the diskette.)

  With VMDISK, you specify the source drive (where the diskette is
  located) and the target location (the drive, path, and file name for

  the diskette image file.) The file name must be specified. If the
  target drive and path are not specified, the current path will be
  used. The current drive, though, must have sufficient space for the
  diskette image.

  For example, to create the diskette image in the root directory on
  drive C, do the following:
   1.  Display an OS/2 command prompt.

   2.  Type:
  VMDISK A: C:\DOS40.IMG

  and press Enter.

  Modify the DOS Session

  Next, you modify the session so that it will load the DOS image file
  (rather than the DOS startup diskette).

  To modify the session:

   1.  Double-click on OS/2 System.

   2.  Double-click on Command Prompts.
   3.  Click on the DOS LAN Requester icon, and press mouse button
  2.

   4.  Select the arrow to the right of Open.
   5.  Select Settings.

   6.  When the DOS Settings notebook is displayed, select the
  Session  tab, and then click on DOS Settings.
   7.  From the list of DOS Settings, select DOS_ STARTUP_ DRIVE. In

  the Value field, type the path and file name of the DOS image
  file. In this example, you would type:
  C:\DOS40.IMG

  This setting indicates the location from which DOS will be
  loaded. Once DOS is loaded, the contents of the file will
  appear to be drive A.
   8.  Select the Save push button.

   9.  Close the DOS Settings window by double-clicking on the
  title-bar icon.

  Restart the System

  Before you start the DOS LAN Requester session, restart the

  system to reset the LAN adapter:
   1.  Display the pop-up menu for the OS/2 desktop by pointing toa
  blank space on the desktop and pressing mouse button 2.

   2.  Select Shut down.
   3.  After the shutdown has completed, restart OS/2 2.0.

  Start the DOS LAN Requester Session

  To start the DOS LAN Requester, double-click on the  DOS LAN
  Requester  icon.


  Release the Drive

  When the session has started, enter the following command:
   C:\OS2\MDOS\FSACCESS A:

  This command releases the diskette image and allows drive A to
  be used normally.

  Appendix F. Migrating from OS/2 Extended Edition
  to OS/2 2.0

  This appendix is intended for the person who is currently using a

  version of Operating System/2 Extended Edition 1.x (for example,
  OS/2 Extended Edition Version 1.3).

  When you install OS/2 2.0 on a system that contains a version of
  OS/2 Extended Edition, the base operating system files are
  replaced, but your other programs and data are left intact. For
  example, database files and configuration files used by the
  Extended Edition Database Manager and Communications
  Manager are preserved by OS/2 2.0.

  However, you should be aware that the Extended components
  provided with Extended Edition (Communications Manager,
  Database Manager, and LAN Requester) do not work after you
  install OS/2 2.0. Therefore, you will be unable to use these
  Extended components with OS/2 2.0, and you cannot access your
  data using these components. We recommend that you upgrade to

  Extended Services for OS/2 to restore your Communications
  Manager and Database Manager functions, and to upgrade to LAN
  Server 2.0 to restore your LAN Requester and LAN Server
  functions. Because OS/2 2.0 preserves your OS/2 Extended Edition
  environment, you can easily make the transition to the Extended
  Services or LAN Server 2.0 products. For example, any
  communication configuration files used by Communications
  Manager are preserved and can be used when you upgrade to
  Extended Services.

  So, after you install OS/2 2.0 on your OS/2 Extended Edition
  system, you should install the appropriate products (Extended
  Services or LAN Server 2.0 or both) to recover your Extended
  Edition components.

  Refer to the installation documentation for Extended Services for

  OS/2 or LAN Server 2.0.

  Do Your Extended Edition Components Start
  Automatically?

  If one of your OS/2 Extended Edition components (for example,
  Communications Manager) is automatically loaded when you start
  your computer, remove the automatic startup capability of the
  component before  you install OS/2 2.0. Because OS/2 2.0 migrates
  your customization information, any programs that were
  automatically started under the Extended Edition version will be
  automatically started under OS/2 2.0. If Communications Manager
  is automatically started under OS/2 2.0, it will not operate properly.

  To find out how to remove the automatic startup capability, refer to
  the OS/2 Extended Edition documentation. For example, if the
  automatic startup capability is specified in your STARTUP.CMD file,
  edit the file and remove the line that starts the OS/2 Extended

  Edition component. Alternatively, if properties associated with
  Communications Manager include ■Open when system is started,┐
  reset the property so that Communications Manager is not opened
  when the system is started.

  If you have already installed OS/2 2.0 and discover that one of the
  Extended Edition programs will not run, remove the automatic
  startup capability and restart OS/2 2.0.

  We recommend that you then upgrade to Extended Services for
  OS/2 to restore your Communications Manager and Database
  Manager functions, and to upgrade to LAN Server 2.0 to restore
  your LAN Requester and LAN Server functions.


  Are You Already Running Extended Services or LAN

  Server with the OS/2 Operating System?

  If you are already running Extended Services with your version of
  the OS/2 operating system, do the following:
   1.  Install OS/2 2.0 (to replace the existing base operating system
  files).





  112 OS/2 2.0 Installation Guide

















1 ******************** Page: 113      ********************


   2.  From an OS/2 command prompt, issue the ESRESTOR
  command. This command will restore the Extended Services
  function.

  If you are already running LAN Server 2.0 with your version of the
  OS/2 operating system, do the following:

   1.  Install OS/2 2.0 (to replace the existing base operating system
  files).
   2.  Reinstall LAN Server 2.0.

  Refer to the installation documentation for LAN Server 2.0 for more
  information.
