Whilst everyone advises backing up the hard disk before changing 
operating systems, it's not normally a problem.  Certainly I've 
installed each version of OpenDos/DRDos without problems.

In my experience there is no need to delete/format anything unless 
your'e trying to remove WIN95 long file names.
