I found this to be the case.  At one point, after I had upgraded from DOS
3.3 to DOS 5.0, I screwed up my CONFIG.SYS file and couldn't boot off the
hard drive anymore.  I booted off the old 3.3 floppy ('cause I forgot to
make a bootable 5.0 disk) but then couldn't access the hard drive anymore!
The only way to get out of the loop was to re-install 5.0 on the hard drive.
There was no way for me to make a 5.0 boot disk with the 5.0 upgrade disks I
had.
