  OS/2 Warp Fullpack Installation Locks Up when Loading MITFX001.ADD
=======================================================================

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

DESCRIPTION

During installation of the OS/2 Warp Fullpack from a CD-ROM, the system 
locks up at Diskette 1 before the "Loading Please Wait" message appears.
The diskette drive has trouble reading a file and might be rescanning 
the same track repeatedly before the lockup occurs.
                                                                               
Pressing Alt+F2 indicates that the MITFX001.ADD driver was being loaded 
when the problem occurred.

RESOLUTION

Make a new copy of Diskette 1 and arrange the files so the DOSCALL1 and
HPFS.IFS files are copied to the diskette last:

1. Type the following, pressing Enter after each, to create a directory
   called "DISK1" on the hard disk:
                                                                               
      C: (or any other drive letter)                            
      MD DISK1
      
2. Type the following, pressing Enter after each, to copy all the files
   from Diskette 1 to the new directory:
                                                                               
      CD DISK1
      COPY A:*
                                                                               
3. Type the following, pressing Enter after each, to delete the two
   largest files in the directory:
                                                                               
      DEL DOSCALL1.DLL
      DEL HPFS.IFS
                                                                               
4. Type the following, pressing Enter after each, to change the volume
   label on a formatted diskette to "DISK 1":
                                                                              
      LABEL A:
      DISK 1
                                                                               
   Note: Use this diskette instead of the original Diskette 1 for
         subsequent installations.
                                                                               
5. Type DEL * Y and press Enter to erase all the files in the DISK1
   directory.
                                                                               
6. Insert the original Diskette 1 in drive A; then type the following,
   pressing Enter after each, to copy DOSCALL1.DLL and HPFS.IFS to the
   DISK1 directory:

      COPY A:DOSCALL1.DLL
      COPY A:HPFS.IFS
                                                                               
7. Type COPY * A: and press Enter to copy these two files from the
   DISK1 directory to the new Diskette 1.

   The new Diskette 1 is ready to use.  

8. Remove the files from the DISK1 directory, remove the DISK1
   directory, and reinstall OS/2 using the new Diskette 1.

Some systems cannot read Diskette 1 because of a BIOS error that creates
timing problems when the outermost tracks of the diskette are read. 
Because Diskette 1 of the CD-ROM installation set is almost full of 
small files, many of these files are pushed to the outer tracks of the 
diskette, which is where the timing problems begin.
