I've  been  trying to install DOS 6.22 onto an AST  Premium  SX20 
notebook's 40 MB hard disk, without much success.

The notebook will boot from a 6.22 DOS formatted floppy, but if I 
try and format c:/s I get a 'divide by zero' error. I've  FDISKed 
the disk with 6.22 FDISK and it report 98% of the disk available, 
which seems a bit odd.

Can  anyone  tell me why this system won't lety me put  DOS  6.22 
onto the hard disk?
