Hi folks, I finally got my copy of OS/2 1.3 for about $125 from a list
price of $150.  Since I opened the disks I can't return the product, SO 
HELP!  I can't install OS/2 1.3 on my hard disk.

System:

ACMA x386/33 mhz  
150 meg ESDI hard disk 
AMI BIOS (dated 9/15/90)
  Hard DISK type 1

HELP!  1.3 can't recognized my hard disk.  I managed to boot up, and then I 
kept getting "device errors on drive C, logical drive D, E, F"  The partition
configuration is 150 meg, C - 32 meg, D- 50 meg, E-50 meg, F=18 meg.  

I can't find a phone number for the IBM tech support.. Called the dealer and
he said they don't know what is happening with OS/2 and I should call IBM.  
I told them that your advertisement said OS/2 compatible, but only for 
something like 1.0/1.1 without ESDI support.  IF anybody else got a 
clue, E-mail is fine or posting.. I'll keep an eye on this.

ON a personal note, kind of silly, finally waiting 3.5 weeks for the program
and doesn't install.. HELP!
