After recently upgrading my system to a ST1144A drive, I copied
my previous windows and QEMM files from old ST157A.

When starting up Windows (3.00a by the way, QEMM 5.12) I get the
message (overwriting the Win startup graphic) "Dos Version 3.1,
You must have DOs version 3.2 or higher" Or something like that...

THis is all well and good but I'm running DOS 4.01 (the new harddrive
was high level formatted, and boots from 4.01)

Am I missing something here? I also tried running windows from my old
harddrive (now drive D:) and got the same message. I am not using
smartdrive or disk manager partitioning software.

My ST1144A is setup as one partition of 130M... (Hey I have my reasons...)

Any idea where the problem is? I suspect QEMM as the culprit. The system 
will run Windows (in real mode) if I boot without QEMM (ie no exp/ext mem)

I do not want to repartition or use HIMEM.SYS if I can avoid it...
