- 1. Description of this diskette
- ---------------------------------
-
- This diskette is to be used with the above specified model IBM ThinkPads
- ONLY. It CANNOT be used on ANY other model of ThinkPad. It contains certain
- original files from the pre-loaded operating system and can be used to replace
- your current ones to resolve configuration problems. The original OS/2 desktop
- can also be restored using this diskette.
-
- This diskette and its contents may not fix all problems, it is simply a
- back up of those original files. Contact an IBM technical support
- representative at 1-800-772-2227 if assistance is needed.
-
-
-
-
- 2. Restoring the original CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT for DOS and OS/2
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The original CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT for DOS and OS/2 are in the
- A:\OS2\SYSTEM directory with the extentions .DOS and .OS2. Before replacing
- your current files, it is advisable to back them up,copy them to a floppy, or
- rename them.
-
- To replace the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS, first ensure that WARP was the operating system
- that the unit was last booted in and use the following command:
-
- COPY A:\OS2\SYSTEM\CONFIG.OS2 C:\CONFIG.SYS followed by the <enter> key.
-
-
- To replace the OS/2 AUTOEXEC.BAT, first ensure that WARP was the operating
- system that the unit was last booted in and use the following command:
-
- COPY A:\OS2\SYSTEM\AUTOEXEC.OS2 C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT followed by the <enter> key.
-
-
- To replace the DOS CONFIG.SYS, first ensure that DOS/WINDOWS was the operating
- system that the unit was last booted in and use the following command:
-
- COPY A:\OS2\SYSTEM\CONFIG.DOS C:\CONFIG.SYS followed by the <enter> key.
-
-
- To replace the DOS AUTOEXEC.BAT, first ensure that DOS\WINDOWS was the
- operating system that the unit was last booted in and use the following
- command:
-
- COPY A:\OS2\SYSTEM\AUTOEXEC.DOS C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT followed by the <enter> key.
-

-
- 3. Restoring the original OS/2 Warp desktop
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- The following procedure will restore the original OS/2 desktop for the
- intended models listed above and should be used for those models ONLY.
- It will not replace any of the pre-installed software that may have
- been deleted. If, prior to the OS/2 desktop restore, there were programs and
- files that had been removed from the hard drive, any OS/2 objects on the
- restored desktop that correspond to those programs will not function, and such
- desktop objects should be deleted.
-
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE:
-
- Before performing the following procedure, you will need either the
- OS/2 Utility diskettes or the first three OS/2 Installation diskettes.
- You must run a CHKDSK before restoring the desktop.
-
-
- To perform a CHKDSK, boot the computer from either the OS/2 Installation
- diskette or Utility diskette #1 and continue with the next diskette when
- prompted. The Utility diskettes will boot to an A:\> prompt; if you are using
- the Installation diskettes, when the blue welcome screen appears, use F3 to get
- to a command prompt. Insert either OS/2 diskette #2 or Utility diskette #3 and
- at the A:\> prompt, use the following command:
-
- CHKDSK C: /F followed by the <enter> key
-
- DO NOT change to drive C: before using this command. This will cause OS/2
- to lock the drive and fixes cannot be made. If errors are found, run the
- command again until no errors are found.
-
-
- The restore can only be done while either booted from floppies or booted
- to a command prompt by hitting the ALT-F1 key combination when the white
- rectangle with the "OS/2" label appears on boot, and choosing "C" from the
- recovery menu.
-
-
- Restore the Desktop by using the following commands from the A:\ prompt:
-
-
- C: followed by the <enter> key
- CD\OS2 followed by the <enter> key
- RESTORE A: C:\*.* /S followed by the <enter> key
-
-
- Next copy the OS/2 INI files to the C:\OS2 directory with the following
- commands:
-
- COPY A:\OS2\OS2*.INI C:\OS2 followed by the <enter> key.
-
-
- It may or may not be necessary to replace the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS when using this
- procedure.
-
- If the machine boots to a black screen, use Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot the
- system. When the white rectangle with the "OS/2" label appears on use the
- Alt-F1 key combination to get to the recovery screen. Choose "V" to set the
- system back to VGA. If the machine still does not boot, and you created an
- archive, try restoring it. If problems persist, contact an IBM support
- representative.
-
-
-
-
- 4. Other configuration files.
- -------------------------------
-
- For configuration problems, this diskette contains other original files
- from the system in the same directories on the diskette that they would be
- found on your hard drive. These include windows group files with the .GRP
- extension and all of the .INI files, such as the WIN.INI or SYSTEM.INI. These
- can be used to resolve many configuration problems. You may want to back up or
- rename any current configuration files before replacing them with the
- originals.
-
-
- For example, to replace the current windows SYSTEM.INI with the original,
- use the following command:
-
- COPY A:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI C:\WINDOWS followed by the <enter> key.
