   Hi Ed,   
      
    RN> I have Warp 4 here (I forget the release number) and it won't   
    RN> install.  I even sent the machine to a trusted friend who uses OS/2   
      
    HG> Usually the installation disks have to be modified for   
    HG> installation on modern computers. There are drivers available   
    HG> to make the installation possible.   
      
   EV> Yep, getting OS/2 drivers for the hardware HP has in this box would   
   EV> be Most Important!   
      
   To swim in safe waters, I'd recommend eCS (eComStation) because then you   
   have all the necessary drivers for modern computers included as well as   
   for older ones.   
      
   EV> You probably are using SATA HDD's like the HDD HP put in this box.   
      
   No, I have told everybody that wants to listen that I'm using SCSI!   
      
    HG> The HighPerformanceFileSystem was developed by Microsoft and   
    HG> IBM together but when their partnership ended M$ took the   
      
   EV> HPFS, I've heard the term but that will be another learning   
   EV> adventure for me.   
      
   No new tricks there. It's the same as the M$ *IFS.   
      
    HG> it will disengage the Boot Manager but you will get it back by   
    HG> just starting the OS/2 FDisk program again. It's still on the   
    HG> HD.   
      
   EV> Thanks for the Tip, I'd need more Tips from the folks in a OS/2 echo   
   EV> if I set my mind to putting OS/2 in place of XP on this pc.   
      
   Sure.
