| installing os/2 on new computer along side Windows 2000 (from Polk ONeal, 00:08:38) | ^ |
| happen to have in my possesion a complete box set OS/2 Warp vertion 3. This set has never been used the diskettes are still sealed in there original containers. I wish to install this system on my computer. Any information you can give me will greatly be appreciated. I am running a Soyo KT-600 Vertion 2.0 mother board with an AMD 2700 processesor 512 mgb. of ram. plenty of hard disk space. I had os2 and windows 3.11 on my first computer. I actually ran Windows as a window in os/2 Warp. (this was the only way windows would actually work right on my system). When I upgraded my next computer to Windows 98 I lost my Warp. I recently found out OS/2 was still live and well because I am currently studying to get my MSCE certifacation. I found out that Windows Server 2000 supports OS/2 and so does Windows 2003.
Here is what I have on my system: System Information report written at: 07/02/2005 01:36:05 PM [System Summary] Item Value OS Name Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Version 5.0.2195 Service Pack 4 Build 2195 OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation System Name P2301S System Manufacturer soyocomputer System Model K7VKPE System Type X86-based PC Processor x86 Family 6 Model 10 Stepping 0 AuthenticAMD ~1200 Mhz BIOS Version Version 07.00T Windows Directory C:\WINNT System Directory C:\WINNT\system32 Boot Device \Device\Harddisk0\Partition1 Locale United States User Name P2301S\Administrator Time Zone Pacific Daylight Time Total Physical Memory 523,760 KB Available Physical Memory 327,696 KB Total Virtual Memory 1,407,416 KB Available Virtual Memory 1,009,616 KB Page File Space 883,656 KB Page File C:\pagefile.sys Please tell me if I can install this in a dual boot configuration and what steps I would take. I have all the original material in this box set and am anxtious to get started. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thank You, [ readers: 128 ] |

| Hi Polk,
make sure to install windows FIRST, create a new drive (e.g. D:\ - it may be a logical drive) and install OS/2 or ECS on that new drive. Let your boot-manger point on that drive and it should work. You can preferably use the OS/2 boot-manger for dual-boot cause I didnt experience any problems with that one concerning the boot-up of windows. It makes no difference to install the boot-manger at the beginning or the end of the disk. |
