- I actually had this problem some time ago... what I did was
- boot from the floppies and rename the os2.ini to something
- else ( os2.bak ) copy the old from the install dir, delete the

- run chkdsk, and rebooted... works fine now... and has ever since.
- You can try this.. but its not guarenteed to work....
