Applicable to: World-Wide

Warning: OS/2 Utility diskettes are not OS/2 Recovery diskettes and CANNOT be used to reload software from the Multimedia CD. If you need to reload software you should make the Recovery Diskette instead.

Creating the Utility Diskettes (you will need 3 blank, high density diskettes)

1. Open the OS/2 System folder
2. Click on System Setup
3. Click on Create Utility Diskettes
4. Choose drive A:, then click on Create
5. Click OK
6. Click YES
7. Follow the prompts until all three Utility Diskettes have been created
8. Be sure to label the diskettes "Utility Diskettes", NOT "Recovery Diskettes".

Approximate time to create these disks is 8 minutes.
