I have a 386 box on which I recently installed 1.1 EE & PM. Since I also run SysV on this box, I have the first 90 meg partition of the C: drive as unix, with a 10 meg DOS/OS-2 partition. I have a 60 meg D: drive. I also don't have any parallel or serial ports (no printer). Since 10 meg isn't enough to run OS-2, I want to use D: as the default drive. After finishing installation, I copied the entire \OS2 tree onto the D: drive, and edited CONFIG.SYS to reference the D: drive. How do I do the following: 1. Move C:\OS2\DLL\4201.DRV to the D: drive? Although I copied it to D:, when I attempt to delete it from C:, I get a message stating that it is in use by another process. 2. Stop the messages that keep popping up in PM which say that the spool directory is full? It's not, I checked, and I certainly haven't printed anything. Remember, I don't have a printer, not even a parallel port. 3. Have the full screen protected mode shell, and the window protected mode shell default to the D: drive? If I use a STARTUP.CMD file, I get a window protected mode shell that is on the D: drive, but if I start new shells from the task manager, they default to the C: drive. 4. DISKCOPY a non-DOS disk? I tried to use DSKCPY2 and DISKCOPY to copy one of my UN*X disks, and I kept getting device failure messages. There is nothing wrong with my drive. Both work fine if the disk is a DOS or OS-2 disk. Is OS-2 really brain dead in this respect. I had to boot DOS from a floppy to DISKCOPY my U*IX disk.
