- Problem: Your installation procedure aborts
-
- There may be occasion when your install aborts. For example, if you
- get a power hit. If you have passed the first reboot, and are in the
- graphical installation, you can restart your installation procedure
- without going through all of the preliminary steps.
-
-
- 1) Identify which disk was being unpacked when the procedure failed.
-
-
- 2) Subtract that from 15 and add one. For example, if you were on disk
- 9, then your result would be 7.
- (for 5.25" diskette systems, use 18 unstead of 15)
-
-
- 3) Boot from the install disk, and insert disk 1 when prompted.
-
-
- 4) When you are asked to press ESC to cancel, press the ESC key. You will
- get a command prompt.
-
-
- 5) Use a text editor to edit the CONFIG.SYS file on the hard disk.
-
-
- 6) In the line starting with FIRSTDISK, edit that to be
- FIRSTDISK=<the disk number from step 1>
- example: FIRSTDISK=9
-
-
- 7) In the line starting with NUMDISKS, edit that to be
- NUMDISKS=<the number from step 2>
- example: NUMDISKS=7
-
-
- 8) Now remove the diskettes and reboot from the hard disk. You will see the
- graphical install panel. Select OK, Install and all defaults. You will
- now be prompted for the disk from step 1, which is the disk where the
- procedure aborted before. All of your previous Selective Install
- choices are preserved.
