Did you mean _overwrite_ the first set with the BA2K utility ? I'm confused.

I have made various emergency diskette sets over the years, a couple with the OS/2 "4-disk" utility, but mostly 2-disk sets using BOOTOS2. (Which
reminds me -- I really should do this for eCS now.) A couple of these sets worked perfectly, others returned different errors, indicating that some
components (like VDM, Help, or REXX support) were not set up correctly. I'd like to find out what I was doing wrong. (FWIW, the kind of hardware
I've been running has been quite consistent for years.)
