You've got drive D: partitioned in a nonstandard manner. Backup everything
on that drive. Use Disk Manager (i assume that's where the dmdrvr.sys comes
from) to remove the partition. Then use FDISK (on your DOS disks) to set up 
a new partition on that drive. Then do a FORMAT D:, and restore the files.

With Compaq DOS 3.31 or any version of DOS 4.xx you should *always* use DOS
to partition the drives. (Unless you have some obscene drive that is more
than 512 Meg)
