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.
Thanks in advance.
