Error Message "Fdisk Unsuccessful" Means .BID Is Missing (97443)
This article was previously published under Q97443
SUMMARY
The error message "Fdisk Unsuccessful" sometimes appears when you try
to install OS/2 1.3 on a COMPAQ Prosignia with a 550 MB SCSI-2 hard
disk.
The Prosignia line requires a special .BID file, which COMPAQ
supplies. If it is not on the disks supplied with the computer, order
it from COMPAQ. Make a copy of your install A disk, delete all the
.BID files on it, put the new COMPAQ .BID file on the disk, and rename
it BOOTBID.BID. Install OS/2 again.
