You may not have to "remove everything;" just enough to make room for
the increased-size msdos.sys and io.sys (or the corresponding PC-DOS
files).  This can often be performed by simply deleting the first file
or two (or three, or...) in the list created by "DIR."  You're in for
more work, however, if you remove thies files, still don't have enough
room, and the next thing on the list is a (sub)directory.  _THEN_ you
get to remove everything in that subdirectory, and the subdirectory
itself to see it _that_ makes enough room.

Good Luck.

Have Fun.

Don't Worry.

Be Happy.
