    I had a problem with my IBM R32 freezing up. I figured it was either the OS installation or the motherboard. I first tried the reinstall and the process was ‘almost’ done when the system locked up. The reinstallation worked fine except the part that did not finish seems to be the section of the script that finalizes the activation of the F11 option. If there is anything else missing it is not obvious to me. I have since replaced the motherboard which solved the lockup problem.

    I have a recovery disk but did not see anything used to initiate the reinstallation again.

    Open to suggestions and or the occasional berating.
