What's the easiest way (other than finding a bootable 1.2MB disk) 
to get DOS 6.21 onto a hard disk (running 5), if the boot disk is 
only a 1.2MB and the 3.5" can't be switched?

Is  there something I can run from a non bootable floppy  to  get 
the  critical  files onto teh hard disk? The system is  networked 
so I can get the rest of the files from over the net.

Does anyone have a useful utility?
