Have you checked the partition table with FDISK?  The DOS partition may
not be set as the default boot partition of your fixed disk.  I once had
to set up a PC that had 2 partitions to get around a bad cylinder  --
usually they just come with the whole disk partitioned to DOS.

Anyhow, it's worth checking.

If you're working on an AT-class machine, you may also need to check the
battery-backed setup.

Hope this helps, (tm)
Bob
