All  of  the sudden I can't seem to boot off my hard drive, when I try I
get the message:

	Non-System disk or disk error
	Replace and strike any key when ready.

I have no trouble at all booting off a floppy, and can attach to my hard
drive and access all the files.

Everything   looks   good,  the  hidden  system  files  are  there,  the
command.com is there (I even copied the copy of command.com from my hard
drive, to the floppy I was booting from to see if it was corrupt, but it
worked fine).

A  little background, I have a Compaq 286, running DOS 3.3.  A couple of
days  ago I installed Microsoft Window/286 (v2.11)  and  the  Window/286
Software  Development Kit, I don't think this has anything to do with it
though, because the problem started a day or two after I started playing
around with Windows.

I  tried  running chkdsk, hoping that if would fix things, but it didn't
help.  Is my next step to do a backup and reformat my hard drive, or  is
there something else I can do that may take care of this problem.

I'd appreciate any suggestions, because I really don't want to reformat.

Thanks,

Jill Jacomine.
