Summary: SYSing your C: disk I tried that (don't do it???!!!!!!!!!)


I order to run SUN's PC-NFS in my ancient compaq (with new roms) 
and a hard disk, I had to upgrade from Compaq's 2.1 to 3.1. After
booting from a Compaq 3.1 floppy and SYSing C:, I found that my
entire C: drive was scrambled. After poking around a bit, I gave
up and reformatted the disk and started over.....

I suspect that I could have saved a bit of time by reading my 
manual, but who has time for that any more?
