Check your paths. On my machine for example, where DOS 3.30 put my third floppy
drive as drive "C:", DOS 5.0 places it after all hard disk partitions (In this
case, as drive "E:"). This caused all my HD partitions to move up by one. My
promary boot partition used to be "D:" under 3.30, and is now "C:" under 5.0,
so I have to go to the "properties" selection under the "File" menu in the
program manager to fix all the paths.
