If you already have MS-Dos on your system try ASSIGN A:=B: then insert
diskette in B: and type the name of startup file for the install. The
diskette will act as if it was drive A: Then you reboot to get the operating
system to work for after the install you 6.0 command.com trying with an older
DOS operating system. DO NOT DO THIS IF YOUR DOS 6.0 SAYS INSTALL BY BOOTING
THE INSTALL DISK.

A second option is to check to see if the install program is .bat file. If
this is the case, then you just all the occurrances A: to B: .

Third option would be swap diskette drive cables (POWER OFF FIRST) and then
run your system setup to change to drive configeration to the new one. I had
to do this when install my 6.2 upgrade. At that time I didn't even think
about the assign command, since I had just upgraded the hard drive and still
had the case off.

Good luck with the upgrade.
