DESCRIPTION

Windows 3.1 was installed from CD. During the installation of OS/2 2.1 
for Windows, OS/2 asks for the Windows diskettes, but is treating the 
images on the CD as 5.25-inch images, where there are 7 diskettes. 
There is no 7th image on the CD.

RESOLUTION

You need to either obtain a Diskette 7, or make the installation 
program "think" you have it. You can do one of the following:

* Obtain a Windows 5.25-inch Diskette 7.

* Install Windows 3.1 from diskettes and use the diskettes during OS/2
  for Windows installation.

* Create a "fake" Diskette 7:

  1. Format a blank 5.25-inch diskette.

  2. Do a DISKCOPY of the CD image of Diskette 6 to the blank 5.25-inch
     diskette.

  3. At a DOS prompt, type the following and press Enter after each to
     label the 5.25-inch Diskette 6 as "DISK7":

        A:
        LABEL
        DISK7

  Use this diskette when the Installation program prompts you for
  Diskette 7.
