It's me again with a different problem.  I just got my new hard disk and
it seems to work great.  The problem is that I can't boot it if I have a
config.sys file on the hard disk.  It has to boot from floppies.

I installed MS-DOS 4.01 using the install disk.  The floppy disk that I
boot from has a config.sys file and it boots fine.  My hard disk will
boot fine without a config.sys file.

Has anyone ever encountered this problem?  Is it a harware or software
problem?

Thanks for any help you can give.
