I am a victim of bad information...
I had v3.20 DOS in my Hard Drive, (when I got it from someone else)
I decided to change it to v3.21, easy, right?  WRONG!!!
 
I copied over COMMAND.COM, and the two hidden files IBMBIO.SYS
and MSDOS.SYS, or whatever they are... replacing the old ones
with the new ones..
Then I tried to boot the computer from the hard disk...Buzz...Wrong
answer./..Then I come to find out that whoever owned the computer before me did not
have back-ups of MS-DOS v3.20, nor did he have any idea where the
originals are...
  So what the HECK do I do now?????
    HELP ME PLEASE..By mail if you can..
Thanks, SrA Gautier, Osan AB, Korea
