HDRSTORE May Restore Previous DOS Files into the DOS Directory (74391)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 5.0
This article was previously published under Q74391 SUMMARY
If you receive an "Incorrect DOS version" error message while
attempting to invoke a DOS command after using HDRSTORE, it is likely
that files from the previous DOS version have been added to the DOS
directory. If this has occurred, it is recommended that you rerun the
MS-DOS 5.0 Setup program and reinstall MS-DOS 5.0 to the hard disk
drive.
MORE INFORMATION
The MS-DOS 5.0 HDRSTORE.EXE command restores files (with the exception
of IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS, and COMMAND.COM) and directories from the backup
disks created with the HDBKUP.EXE command. If a previous version of
DOS was present on the hard disk when HDBKUP was run, these files will
be restored into the DOS directory regardless of what DOS 5.0 files
currently reside within that directory.
If you want to use HDBKUP.EXE to back up the hard disk while a
previous version of DOS resides in the DOS directory, it is
recommended that you first restore the hard disk with HDRSTORE.EXE,
then run the Setup program.
