I am having a problem that I thought was similar to one that was recently
discussed, however, my attempts to solve it have been unsuccessful.  Here's
my scenario, please help if you can.....

    I am currently running an XT Clone with MS-DOS 3.2.  When trying to
    upgrade to MS-DOS 3.3, I am not successful.  I do all the proper
    copying of the system with SYS C: after booting 3.3 from the A drive,
    and copy all of the proper files (CONFIG.SYS,ANSI.SYS, etc).
    When I go to boot from the C drive, my system hangs.  It goes through
    the initial diagnostics and memeory check, hits the A drive, reads 
    some stuff off of C, resets my printer, and then hangs.  No display on
    the screen and no error messages.  I try this many different ways and 
    still no success.  I have even backed-up my entire hard drive, booted
    with 3.3 from the floppy, did and FDISK and reformatted the hard
    drive.  Still no luck.  Every time I boot it just hangs after resetting
    the printer.
    I start over and install 3.2 again, and everything is fine!.!.!
 
    Help!  What, if anything am I doing wrong? Is there a problem with
    my machine.

   In addition, I have also tried to install 4.01.  Even used the same
   FDISK/FORMAT procedure, and guess what, the system hangs after
   reseting the printer!.!.!.!.!

   Reinstall 3.2 and everything works. Please help me!.!.!.

   Thanks for any help.......
