Could it be, that you have some ROM-BIOS setup option like "Virus protection" or "Refure updating MBR code" enabled? If so, disable it temporarily while installing the OS or running SYS, as the installer needs to write a new MBR and boot sector code if you have been using MS-DOS before. Alternative: Please try LOADER. If this too does not work, carefully check the ROM-BIOS setup options, too. BTW, the new DR-DOS 7.03 BETA SYS available for download on Caldera's web site has a number of new options allowing to work around some common installation problems. Run SYS /? for an overview of available options. Please tell us your results.
