Hi Allen,

Warp 4 "out of the box" doesn't have an IDE driver that will handle
"large" IDE disk drives properly. If your drives are IDE and you have a
large drive (bigger than 4.3 GB) you'll need to put the newer IDE
drivers onto the install diskettes.

The instructions for doing so are quite simple and are in the README
that comes with the new drivers. You copy the files onto the install
diskettes (replacing the older versions) and modify the CONFIG.SYS file
by adding one additional statement ("SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1").

The new IDE driver package is a self-extracting .EXE file and is at:

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/os2ddpak/idedasd.exe

and the info page which eventually leads to the above is at:

http://ftp.software.ibm.com/os2ddpak/html/os_2comp/installa/
