If you have the originals from MS-DOS just use the sys command to install 
MS-DOS onto your hard disk. Using the DOS copy command will not work for
IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS must be in certain sectors of the drive.  Copy 
COMMAND.COM onto your drive from floppy.  You may have to replace the
DOS support files (XCOPY,FORMAT etc) with the ones from MS-DOS but I 
don't think so.

Hope this helps.
