Matthew you have deleted two files that your computer looks at when it 
boots. Both files are system files. You can use undelete by logging onto 
C:\ and typing undelete. You will then be shown deleted files one at a 
time and asked whether you want to undelete the files. You must know the 
first character of the file to recover it. One of the system files you 
undeleted is IO.SYS and the other is MSDOS.SYS. You also need to ensure 
that COMMAND.COM is present. This will correct your problem without 
having to reformat your harddrive. A simpler way to correct the problem 
is to use SYS.COM from Disk 1 of your DOS 6.20 disk set. TO do this you 
need to log on to A: or B: as appropriate and type SYS C:\   This will 
reinstall the missing system files and you can then reboot and your 
system should work fine!
