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

DESCRIPTION

This document shows how an existing primary partition of 80 MB that 
takes up the entire hard disk space is replaced by:

* A 45 MB primary partition in which OS/2 will be installed
* A 35 MB logical drive that is used for programs and data

This example does NOT involve installation of Boot Manager.

RESOLUTION

Note: Be sure to make a copy of any file you intend to change.

 1. Back up any data you want to save from an existing partition. (Use
    the BACKUP command from your existing operating system.)

 2. Insert the Installation Diskette and restart your system. If you
    are installing from a CD, also insert the OS/2 CD into the CD-ROM
    drive.

 3. Remove the Installation Diskette and insert Diskette 1; then press
    Enter. As files are loaded into memory, messages appear asking you
    to wait, followed by a black screen.

 4. When the Installing Operating System/2 screen appears, use the
    cursor-control keys to highlight Advanced Installation; then press
    Enter.

 5. From the Installation Drive Selection screen, select option 2,
    Specify a different drive or partition and press Enter.

 6. When the Modifying Partitions Warning screen appears, press Enter
    to continue with the installation.

 7. Delete the existing partition (which you have backed up):

    a. At the FDISK screen, press any key to remove the message box.
    b. Press Enter to display the Options menu.
    c. Select Delete Partition and press Enter.

 8. Create the primary partition for OS/2 Warp:

    a. Press Enter to display the Options menu.
    b. Select Create Partition and press Enter.
    c. Type the size of the primary partition (here, 45) and press
       Enter.
    d. Select Primary Partition and press Enter.
    e. Select Create at Start of Free Space and press Enter.

 9. Indicate that this partition should be used for OS/2 Warp
    installation:

    a. Press Enter to display the Options menu.
    b. Select Set Installable and press Enter.
    c. Type a name for the partition.

10. Create the logical drive for data:

    a. Highlight the Free Space line.
    b. Press Enter to display the Options menu.
    c. Select Create Partition and press Enter.
    d. Press Enter to accept the size of the extended logical drive
       (35).
    e. Select Extended Logical Drive and press Enter.

    Note: If you entered a number less than 35 for the size of the
          logical drive, you also have to select Create At Start of
          Free Space or Create at End of Free Space.

11. Exit FDISK:

    a. Press F3.
    b. Select Save and Exit and press Enter.

12. Follow the instructions on the screen to continue installation.

13. When the Welcome screen reappears, select Advanced Installation and
    press Enter.

14. When the Installation Drive Selection screen reappears, select
    option 1, Accept the Drive, and press Enter.

15. When prompted, remove Diskette 1 and insert Diskette 2; then press
    Enter.

16. At the Select the File System screen, select the file system you
    want for the OS/2 partition.

    Note: If you can, format the logical drive for a file system that
          is different from the one that you formatted for the primary
          partition. For example, if the primary partition is formatted
          for the High Performance File System (HPFS), you can format
          the logical partition for the File Allocation Table (FAT)
          file system. This way, you can have both file systems
          installed on the hard disk.

17. Complete the installation of OS/2 Warp.
