- I've got a similar problem. It seems like OS/2 thinks a 1.44 meg disk has
- about 400k less data than it should. I couldn't install wing commander because
- several disks used up every last byte and the install program gave errors
- with the last few sectors. Booting DOS from floppy allows me to read the
- entire disk with no problems.
-
- So what gives?
