Hi,
I managed to borrow a hard drive with OS/2 warp on it from someone. I want
to copy it onto my own drive. How do I do this? I know that in DOS, I
would do a sys command to make the drive bootable. There is no sys command
here. What should I do?

You go to the store and you BUY a copy of OS/2 Warp. OS/2 is a commercial
product that is still available in stores. Either that or you can probably
buy a used copy, although I don't know what transfering the license entails.
Last I checked OS/2 Warp V3 and V4 were both available. I've heard a new
version is actually in the works (despite the fact I used to be a huge OS/2
fan I find that a little hard to believe).

I found my copy of Warp3 at a flea market, still shrinkwrapped for
$10.00.

One solution is the shareware program HD COPY readily available.

OS/2 xcopy /h /o /t /s /e /r /v followed by sysinstx from the maintenance
disks should work for OS/2 (assuming the device drivers and types are the
same, the correct bios settings (for IDE/ATA/MFM/RLL/ESDI non-scsi etc)
Also the OS/2 boot program IS not the same as the DOS boot blocks.
Make a linux recovery boot floppy and reinstall lilo after OS/2.
Also, fdisk the partition USING the OS/2 fdisk -- not the linux one.
(The OS/2 fdisk and the OS/2 boot manager work great with FreeBSD/Linux
and allow you to boot lilo from the OS/2 boot manager)
Also, make sure the OS/2 boot partition is under the 1024 cyl range.
