         Using Alt+F1 on a System with OS/2 Warp Pre-Installed
=======================================================================

Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION

If you press Alt+F1 to select the maintenance partition (M) on a system 
with OS/2 Warp pre-installed, some information in the \OS2\BOOT\CONFIG.M
file might be incorrect. If the information IS incorrect, the
Installation program might stop with an error stating the SOURCEPATH is 
incorrect.

RESOLUTION

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

1. Edit the \OS2\BOOT\CONFIG.M file and find the following SET
   statements:

      SET SOURCEPATH=
      SET FDISKETTESOURCE=

2. Change the statements as follows:


   * If you have NOT made a set of diskettes using the Diskette Factory
     program:

        SET SOURCEPATH=C:\DISKETTS\OS2V3
        SET FDISKETTESOURCE=0

   * If you HAVE made a set of installation diskettes, and the Diskette
     Factory program deleted the INSTALL directory tree located under
     \DISKETTS\OS2V3:

        SET SOURCEPATH=A:
        SET FDISKETTESOURCE=1

     Note: When FDISKETTESOURCE is set to 1, you will be prompted to
           insert diskettes.
