Hi Everybody....

HELP, I am stuck with DOS 4.0 and would really appreciate any suggestions
to help out.

I have an IBM PS/2 model 80. The hard disk is formated with dos 4.0.
I am trying to use a couple of software packages (DeskView among others)
that when I attempt to load I get the message 'incorrect DOS version'.

So I've been trying to format the hard disk with DOS 3.3, but the problem
is that when I boot the pc from the floppy drive using DOS 3.3, it won't 
recognize the hard disk. Any attempt to format or ACCESS drive C, I get
the message 'invalid drive specification'. Even fdisk can't read the hard 
disk...

Thanks in advance....
