I got my hands on a new copy of Warp 4.0 Blue spine box. I am trying to
load the os to a toshiba laptop with a pentium m processor, 100GB HDD
and a usb floppy A drive. I get to disk2... it recognizes my ide
controllers with OK messages but then stops with a message
" cannot operate your hard disk or floppy drive" I had formatted the HDD with a 2GB primary partition fat32. Any help would be greatly apprecaited.
Looking forward to using my all time favorite OS/2 Warp.
Best system ever... had it on a ThinkPad 390 duel boot back in 1998!

Warp v4 doesn't recognize your USB floppy drive. You can boot because your BIOS recognized it, but once OS/2's install takes over it didn't know anything about USB until a later fixpack update. CD install would correct that or using a built-in floppy drive.Hi Bob, Sid,
It may be possible using one of the USB drivers from here: http://www.os2site.com/sw/drivers/usb/index.html and putting them into the very crowded first disk and moding the config.sys file that's running the system at this time, to make it recognize the USB floppy.

As mentioned by others, your install disks need IBM1S506.ADD replaced by DaniS506.ADD, and DaniATAP.FLT for IBMATAPI.FLT.
AFAIR, all Warp 4 is blue spine. FAT32 can be a problem with Warp until brought up to FP13 or so with updated BM[1] to match. http://fm.no-ip.com/partitioningindex.html cover some of the issues.
