Installing in VirtualBox and it hangs at installation partition is formatted.

[Tae Wong]

You are trying to get OS/2 Warp 4.52 installed on VirtualBox. You can
only get the second ISO file for OS/2 Warp 4.52 (OS2 Warp 4.52 CD
2.iso) to work. First you can get the first ISO file for OS/2 Warp
4.52 (OS2 Warp 4.52 CD 1.iso) to work after the logo and when starting
the installation process.

When you try to do a long format as HPS, the system takes too long or
hangs at the following message.
Please wait while the installation partition is formatted...

How do you fix this?

Being a virtual setup which is nothing more than a file, I see no reason
for a long format. Try it with the quick format option.

Two things,
(a) since you are using a virtual drive you do not require to do a
long format of the virtual disk.
(b) the first CD is only there to do the initial starting (the
equivalent of the boot diskettes), then you have to change to CD2 to
continue the install.

I would recommend that you get UPDCD
http://xenia.sote.hu/~kadzsol/rexx/sajat/updcd.htm and use that to
update your Warp 4.52 and also integrate it into one bootable CD.

I don't see any inappropriate posts here but then I an using newsnet
not google groups so can't help with deleting.

How to install it in VirtualBox? When you switch to the 3rd diskette,
you get a bunch of messages saying The system cannot find the file
"filename". This device driver, program, or data file is not located
in the default path or the path specified for it in the CONFIG.SYS
file. Install this file in the correct directory or correct the
appropriate CONFIG.SYS file statement.

[Tae Wong]

Yes, you have successfully installed OS/2 Warp Connect Blue to your
VirtualBox virtual machine list. It is great!

As I've mentioned before, GIVE EXACT DETAILS! No one can help if they do
not know exactly what is going on.
How about posting in comp.os.os2.apps


Personally, I think you're just screwing with everybody.

Actually I think he wants someone to send him a working image file
because he does not have OS/2.

Yeah. You have OS/2 installed on your virtual machine list
(VirtualBox). 2 virtual machines (OS/2 1.1 and OS/2 1.2 Standard
Edition) have installation problems.

[Tae Wong]

OK. How to stop releasing your comment late when you post on Better
Explorer? Yeah... you have installed OS/2 on your virtual machine list
(VirtualBox).

OK, one last try.

What version of VirtualBox are you using?
What is the host operating system?
Post the full settings under the 'general, details' tab - especially
the CPU settings.
What is the virtual hard disk size?
How is the CD set up, virtual or an actual CD drive?
Is audio enabled?
What virtual network card have you enabled?

When you supply answers to all of the above we might be able to start
helping you.

For example I have everything from OS/2 v1.3 to Warp 4 CP2 running on
actual hardware not virtual machines although we have OS/2 WSeB as
virtual machines on our servers.

Hey Ivan, that's one more try than I have left. Only thing I have to say to
Tae Wong from now on is "it works for me" :)

[Tae Wong]

Your version of VirtualBox using is 4.2.12 (with all unused language
files deleted!).
Your host operating system is XP.
Not required.
20.00 (eComStation 2.0 RC4), 64.00 GB (eComStation 2.0 RC5), 2.00 GB
(eComStation 2.0 RC7), 8.00 (eComStation 2.2 Demo).
CD is set for all operating systems.
The audio system in eComStation (as a guest operating system) crashes
VirtualBox latest versions.

I can confirm this. Using VirtualBox's emulated sound card (regardless
if SB16 or AC97) sooner or later crashes the VM. Sometimes a Trap
screen, sometimes freeze.

I ended up using PM123 with PulseAudio to transfer Sound.


Marcel

[Tae Wong]

Thanks to Marcel for confirming the bug that is on your post.

How can you download PM123 with PulseAudio to transfer sound?

It is still a developer release of PM123 1.41. ;-)
It ships with pulse123.dll, a PulseAudio plug-in.

I could send you a copy if you like to test it. But be aware, while the
PulseAudio client is quite stable, there might be other bugs in PM123
that cause unexpected behavior or even crashes (of PM123 not the VM).


Marcel

[Tae Wong]

Yeah. Thanks to Marcel for posting the file name! Note that System VIO
has a lowercase l that you can distinguish from the number 1. Then...
you have already installed most of the virtual machines for VirtualBox
(FreeDOS - older, Windows 8 Enterprise - modern). Older is non-Unicode
while modern is Unicode. He seems to get mad when we reject our
submissions from MobyGames (Tae Wong) with negative comments!

Marcel... Click the link (after opening up eComStation virtual

You are downloading it to eComStation virtual machine.

You are going to install OS/2 Warp 4 in VirtualBox... after a while,
the installation stops at NAMEMOVE.EXE and hangs with an error

For anyone to help, tell exactly what the error message says.

It could be a corrupted install disc, but tell what the message says, all
of it.

[Tae Wong]

Oh yes, but you have a corrupted install disk of OS/2 Warp 4. How do
you install it with a corrupted install disk? The topic starts getting
more replies.

I would also suggest he gets a proper newsreader client
http://mpgravity.sourceforge.net/ works with win 7 and learns to use
it without going through google groups. I an fedup trying to work out
what he is referring to.

You have not tried this news reader.

Fony, the bitmap typeface editor (latest version) crashes on Windows

Wow. You are posting on a negative date (but you live in Korea).

When are you going to bundle the Natalie and Magda voices on the Tears

No more replies. You may know on how to get more replies on an older

Now what are you on about?

Since the post you are replying to does not appear above your post no
one knows what you are talking about.

As I said get a proper newsreader application (if you have eCS or OS/2
running get pronews from Hobbes) and use that with a proper news
server NOT google groups - that is where the spam and other garbage is
from.

You have successfully installed OS/2 and eComStation under VirtualBox
(avoiding the long time for formatting drives).

In VirtualBox, there are stuff that cannot be translated. Samples are
"Starting virtual machine ...", "Restoring virtual machine ..." and
"Saving the execution state of the virtual machine ...".

VirtualBox has some untranslated artifacts like "Starting virtual

[Tae Wong]

VirtualBox have translation difficulties in messages like "Starting

Korean is your mother tongue!

He/She? is languishing about not receiving more replies to his/her posts.
We have tried to be helpful, but without much information, we can't respond
with anything but generalised possibilities. There are obviously language
translation difficulties. I guess what Tae doesn't realise is one cannot
illicit replies to any post, if no one wants to respond.

The new Google Groups is crap, you don't want it but Revert to the old Google Groups menu item is not listed on My settings.

Groups menu item is not listed on My settings.

You can use Mozilla Thunderbird to read newsgroups, you might find that
more convenient. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/all.html

Looks like the option is kind of hidden in recent versions of Thunderbird
but it seems to be "File" --> "New" --> "Other Accounts" --> "Newsgroup
account".

(Or you can use SeaMonkey.)

[Tae Wong]

You do not want new design of Google Groups so if the new design of Google Groups is going away soon use the old version if needed.

Where is Revert to the old Google Groups menu item in "My settings" menu?
