    I'm having some trouble upgrading from PC-DOS 3.1 to MS-DOS 3.3 on 
my 386 clone.  When I try to sys my hard drive, I get a 'not enough
room' error.  I suspect that this is because the hidden files are
bigger in 3.3,  but I thought that the hidden dos and bios files no longer
had to be contiguous.

    Any suggestions on how I can do this without reformating my 80 meg
hard drive?


Thanks!
