Put the OS/2 Install Disk in the A Drive (this the same
disk that you used to install OS/2 1.2  in the first place)
reboot your machine,
and when you get the Blue screen, instead of pressing 
Enter , Press Esc. 

This should dump you out to an A: prompt.

Now, the C: drive is writable including the INI and DLL files.
