SUMMARY
The error message &quot;Fdisk Unsuccessful&quot; 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.
