SYMPTOMS
When you are installing OS/2, this error message may be displayed:

SYS1733 The country info file a:\country.sys is incorrect, the system has stopped.



CAUSE
The error is caused by a hardware configuration problem. Known causes of this are:


 * Misconfigured CMOS for the floppy disk drives.
 * Missing one of two floppy disk drives, but CMOS states both exist.
 * Incorrect SCSI configurations.



RESOLUTION
To see if your CMOS is configured incorrectly, check your computer's owner's manual for information on how to configure it to match your installed hardware.

To see if you have a misconfigured adapter card (such as an SCSI) check the card's settings against the proper settings in the user or installation manual, or contact the manufacturer for help.
