Thanks to all who helped me with this problem.  I do have it fixed so,
please, no more mail is necessary on the subject.

For those of you who do not know what I am talking about:

	I received a new hard disk onto which I installed MS-DOS 4.01.
The problem was that the hard disk would not boot if there was any kind
of a config.sys file on the disk.  It would boot fine without this file.

Diagnosis:  The MS-DOS Install disk was bad.

Solution:  The disk was replaced by the company I purchased my computer
from (Gateway 2000) and MS-DOS was reinstalled.  It works great now.
