Hi Jeff
My standard installation proc is like following:

First FAT prim C: with WINxx with max possible size !
After finishing the WINxx installation do create the rest according =

to your needs WITH eCS i.e. like following:

BM right after the first prim C:
Behind the BM you place a second HPFS prim C: for eCS
Install eCS into its partition with the BM set to installable for the =

second prim C: partition.
During the installation process, when it comes to select the =

respective partition do really check thru to get the correct =

partition effectively !!

Set your BM accordingly to your preferences and do not forget:

In the WPS settings tab "Archive" under "Recovery Choice screen" =

you need to activate the button "Display recovery choices at each =

system startup" and set it to 3 to 5 seconds to be able to choose =

the one you want ;-)

This installations are working on our system very well !
OS/2 V4 or V4.5 have absolutely no problems !!
W98SE during booting sometimes comes with a vCache =

error message and needs a s system restart ...
=2E.. going into safe mode and after one more boot going =

to start correctly ;-|

Good luck, svobi

On a 10 gb drive partitioned into C (primary for default Win98 OEM
install) and D, E, F, G (FAT) and H I J (HPFS) the CD#1 installer
fails to advance beyond the step to create an installable volume =

to go in IBM Boot Manager, objecting to the choice of Drive H =

"Your system reports a boot limit of 1024 cylinders. Either create all
bootable partitions near the beginning of the disk or upgrade your
system" =

I know this has to work because I have eCS 1.0 successfully installed
on the comparably-located Drive H on my 600X (12 gb drive). However
the install process differed in V 1.0 so this obstacle did not arise.

Nowhere can I find this obstacle, or a workaround, documented from
anything accompanying the package or at the ecomstation website.

Please advise the fix and also what online or documentary references
I should have consulted to learn how to fix this problem. It gives me
the creeps to get stuck on some simple gotcha which has a simple fix.
(I just don't know what it is.) (There are going to be many more
horrendous install problems so as I get to CDs 2 and 3, so I need to
learn now.)

Thanks for all help.

Jeffrey Race
