Once DOS 5.0 Installed, Do Not Boot With Old |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: If users are having problems after installing MS-DOS 5.0 on their system and they suspect a compatibility problem with the new version of DOS, do not have them boot with their previous version of DOS (e.g., with a DOS startup disk). According to Microsoft, if they do, the information on their hard disk could be damaged. If they want to restore the previous version of DOS, they need to use the Uninstall disks created upon installation of DOS 5.0. These Uninstall disks contain copies of their old AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files. For more information, please see memo DOS_270E in the DOS infobase. |
