         Just recieved our OS/2 machine and I was trying to install the
dual boot option.  
         First problem I encountered was that AST DOS 3.30A would not 
recognize the 95Meg drive C. The error instructed me to use DOS 4.0 
or later.  I formatted a disk with Compaq dos 4.01 and reinstalled
the dual boot.  (Successful installation according to it anyhow.) 
         When I boot from the hard disk I recieve an error, dbmon.com 
cannot be found insert system diskette and reboot the system.  Sure it 
boots fine from A but only in DOS.  I took a peek at the root of C and 
dbmon.com is there.  Hidden System and Read only, but there.  I reset 
the attributes but no luck.  
         Any ideas, any help, a crafty comment, all would be appreciated.
