- This readme document is ONLY for the IBM Thinkpad
- SELECT-A-SYSTEM dos/windows and OS2 warp preload. If the
- user has installed Warp from a shrink wrapped copy then
- the following process will not work.
-
- IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE INSTALL DISKS, YOU CAN USE THE WARP UTILITY DISKS
- THAT ARE AVAILABLE ON THE IBM BBS.

-
- Backing up an Restoring The Desktop
- This procedure requires 2 seperate diskettes. A blank one to create your own
- backup, and the diskette you downloaded from the IBM BBS.
-
- It is always a good idea to make frequent backups of your desktop. The
- folowing procedure explains how to make a backup and use it to restore
- desktop if something happens to it. There is a related procedure called
- archiving which may also be used to recover a customized desktop, but
- it is still a good idea to have a backup on diskette.
-
- You will need your OS/2 Utility disks created from the System Setup
- folder, as well as a blank diskette,
- and you will also need to know the actual name
- of the directory, where OS/2 keeps its Desktop information. It is
- generally named DESKTOP, but you may need to verify this before
- beginning the procedure
- o Open an OS/2 Window either by clicking on the OS/2 window object
- on the Launchpad, or by double-clicking Command Prompts,
- then double-clicking the OS/2 Window object.
- o At the C:\ prompt, type the following, then press ENTER:
- DIR /AD /P
- o This will show you a list of directories and files. Look for a
- directory named DESKTOP or something like that, i.e, DESKTOP1,
- DESKTOP2, or OS!2_DESK, etc. Write down the name of this
- directory. (If it is different than DESKTOP, you will need to
- substitute that name for DESKTOP in the examples below)
-
- Backing up
-
- 1. Restart your system with the OS/2 Utility disk 1 in the A: drive.
- 2. When asked, insert Utility disk 2, and press enter
- 3. The Utility disks will exit the boot process and give an A: propmt
- 4. Insert Utility disk 3
- 5. Backup your DESKTOP directory and subdirectories to the blank diskette
- by typing the following command at the c:\ or a:\ prompt
-
- backup c:\desktop a: /s
-
- where C: is the drive where OS/2 resides and A: is where your disk is.
-
- 6. The system will read the Utility disk and prompt you to insert the backup
- diskette into the A: drive
- 7. Next, copy the OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI files from the OS2 directory
- to your diskette, by typing the following command, then pressing enter.
-
- COPY C:\OS2\OS2*.INI A:
-
- 8. Next, copy your current config.sys to the diskette , by typing the
- folowing command and then pressing ENTER.
-
- COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS A:\
-
- 9. Label this disk appropiately and put it away in a safe place.
-
-
