--------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION

Cannot access the diskette drive after installing OS/2 Warp 3.0. The 
problem did not occur when OS/2 2.X was installed on the system.

RESOLUTION

Note: Make sure you have a backup of any file you intend to change.

The OS/2 Warp Installation program adds both the OEM and PS/2 
diskette-drive device drivers to the CONFIG.SYS file of some systems. 
Remark-out (REM) the unneeded device driver in the CONFIG.SYS file, as 
follows:

1. At an OS/2 command prompt, type E CONFIG.SYS and press Enter to edit
   the CONFIG.SYS file.

2. Make the following changes:

   * For IBM PS/2 Micro Channel systems:

     Change: BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD
     To:     REM BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD

   * For other systems:

     Change: BASEDEV=IBM2FLPY.ADD
     To:     REM BASEDEV=IBM2FLPY.ADD

3. Save and exit the file; then shut down and restart the system.
