received. Another error also could appear.

RESOLUTION

You are receiving the SYS0002 error message because the SVGADATA.PMI 
file was not  created.

Note: In the following procedure:

      * If your system came with OS/2 2.1 pre-installed, use the
        Utility diskettes to get to the command prompt.

      * x is the drive where OS/2 is installed.

    Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the system.

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

 3. When the Welcome Screen appears, press Esc to get to a command
    prompt.

 4. Type DIR x:\OS2\RSPDSPI.EXE and press Enter to see if RSPDSPI.EXE
    is in the \OS2 directory. If the file is NOT there:

    a. Insert Diskette 8 in drive A.

    b. Type x:\OS2\UNPACK A:\INSTALL x: /N:RSPDSPI.EXE and press Enter.
 
    c. Type the following, pressing Enter after each, to change to the
       drive where OS/2 is installed and then to the \OS2 directory:
