Subject: [opendos] Can't load DOS from harddrive after installing Open DOS!
Sender: owner-opendos AT mail DOT tacoma DOT net

Hi There,

Well, I installed Open DOS on my desktop computer the other day and got
myself into big trouble.  The installation went fine except for the fact
that during installation I received an error message saying that it couldn't
find a particular file.  I pressed escape to continue the installation
without this file.  After the installation was complete I chose to reboot
the operating system.  When it rebooted I got the message "Cannot load DOS
press key to retry".  Then when I pressed a key it rebooted again and did
the same thing.

So then I tried booting up using a boot diskette previously created with SYS
and this worked fine!Once I got the old DOS loaded booting from the A drive,
I tried running the Open DOS uninstall program.  When I did this, however,
it said that it couldn't find the data files that it needs to uninstall Open
DOS and therefore could not continue.  So now what do I do?  Any help would
be much appreciated.  Thanks.
