     Continuing Installation if Procedure Stops--All OS/2 Releases

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

DESCRIPTION

If the installation procedure stops, you might be able to complete the 
installation without reusing all of the installation diskettes. You do 
not have to use all diskettes again if the installation stopped after 
you were prompted to put the Installation Diskette in the drive for the 
second time (after you are in the graphical installation). For example, 
if you were copying files from Diskette 9 on a 3.5-inch-diskette system,
you could resume the installation at Diskette 9 after doing the 
following:

RESOLUTION

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

 1. Identify which diskette was being "unpacked" when the installation
    procedure stopped.

 2. If you have 3.5-inch diskettes, subtract the number printed on the
    diskette from 15 and add 1 to the result (subtract the number from
    18 if you have 5.25-inch diskettes). For example, if you were on
    Diskette 9 on a 3.5-inch system, the result would be 7.

 3. Start the computer with the Installation Diskette; when prompted,
    remove the diskette and insert Diskette 1.

 4. When prompted, press Esc to cancel. A command prompt appears.

 5. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file on the hard disk.

 6. On the line that starts with FIRSTDISK, change the number to the 
    number of the diskette that was in the diskette drive when the
    installation stopped. For example, if installation stopped at
    Diskette 9, the line should read:

       FIRSTDISK=9

 7. On the line that starts with NUMDISKS, change the number to the one
    you reached in step 2. In the example, this was 7, so the line
    should read:

       NUMDISKS=7

 8. Save and exit the CONFIG.SYS file; then remove the diskette and
    press Ctrl+Alt+Del.

 9. At the graphical installation screen, select OK and then Install.
    Select all defaults.

10. When prompted, insert the diskette that was being loaded when the
    installation procedure stopped.

All the Selective Install choices you selected when you originally 
tried to install OS/2 are preserved.
