IBM PC730/PC750 - Diskette factory fails to build OS/2 Warp diskettes

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
IBM PC 700 Series 6877 and 6887 systems preloaded with the Select-A-System preload may fail to create the OS/2 WARP installation diskettes using the Diskette Factory application.

Problem Isolation Aids:
During the creation of the WARP installation diskettes, the Diskette Factory stops the process after completing diskette #6.

This failure only affects 6877 and 6887 systems with an Italian language Select-A-System preload.

Fix:
Using an editor, edit the "OS2_30.CTL" file as follows:
1. Change to the C: OS2 INSTALL PRELOAD directory.
2. Edit the OS2_30.CTL file.
3. Locate "Disk=7" section in the OS2_30.CTL file.
4. Change the "DISKPATH=DISK_6" to "DISKPATH=DISK_6DF".
5. Save and exit.

The Diskette Factory should now complete the creation of the OS/2 WARP installation diskettes.
