I'm having problems with file transfers that result in the above message and a total system shutdown on OS/2 running on a 486. Can anyone give me some ideas what might be causing this message? It is driving me crazy trying to track it down. Some additional information. I've had problems with copying files to/from floppies and the hard disk, to/from floppies and a VDISK. Just doing a DIR on the hard disk (though this latter VERY rarely). I've had problems with two different 486 motherboards, (which have two different BIOS's) with two different IDE interface cards, two different floppy controllers, and with both OS/2 1.2 and OS/2 1.3. I can't think of anything else to vary! When copying a specific file fails, trying again later on the same file will always cause another failure. A different file of the same size, however, may just copy correctly. For instance, I can install OS/2 1.2 from floppies, but not 1.3.
