the directories of my 71MB hard drive, and now when I boot it up,
it says "insert systems disk drive A". My drive and files are still
there, but the computer won't boot with it. 
	After some searching and a lot of panicing, I realized the
IO.SYS file was accidentaly moved to a diffrent directory. I moved it
back to the root, but it still wants a floppy systems disk.
	It's a 386/25 1MB with Dos 4.1 from PC BRAND. I've been trying
the tech-help phone number for days, but all I get is a buzy signal
(Hmmmm...). I'm practically illiterate in MS-DOS, so no solution is
too obvious. Any ideas?
Please?
