Said labels being DISK      1, DISK      2, and DISK     3.

Make sure you have 6 spaces on each of those now.  I know about this label thing
because a guy where I work spent a couple hours trying to put his MS-DOS onto
1.2 and couldn't figure out why it kept asking him to insert disk 1 over and
over.  This was yesterday...

Anyway, he said it's probably something stupid.  I suggested the labels, and
sure enough... :-)  He felt stupid, alright!
