SYMPTOM

UNABLE TO INSTALL DR DOS

ISSUE/PROBLEM

A manual installation may be needed if the normal DR DOS installation
fails or if a custom installation is required.

SOLUTION

Follow the steps listed below to manually SYS (make bootable) the hard
disk and install DR DOS.

NOTE:  For this example of a manual installation we have assumed that the
bootable partition is lettered C:.

The instructions for a manual DR DOS installation are as follows:

1.  Boot the DR DOS Startup floppy diskette to the first installation
screen. (If this is a 360K set of disks strike CTRL-C, then Y when
prompted to insert the Utilities #1 floppy diskette.  Proceed with step
3.)


2.  Exit the installation by pressing <F10> and choosing Exit to DR DOS.

3.  From the A: prompt type SYS C: <Press ENTER>  This transfers the
system files from the installation floppy diskette in drive A: to the hard
disk.  C: is now a bootable DR DOS hard disk partition.

4.  Type C: <Press ENTER> and then CD\ <Press ENTER> This moves you to the
root directory of C:.

5.  Type MD DRDOS <Press ENTER>
    This creates the DRDOS directory on C:.

6.  Type COPY A:\*.* C:\DRDOS <Press ENTER>
    This transfers all of the files from the installation floppy diskette 
    to the C:\DRDOS subdirectory.

7.  Repeat step #6 with the remaining DR DOS floppy diskettes.

8.  Type MOVE SSTORDRV.SYS C:\ <Press ENTER>
    This moves the SSTORDRV.SYS device driver to its proper location in  
    the root directory of C:.

9.  Type MOVE DEVSWAP.COM C:\ <Press ENTER>
    This moves the DEVSWAP.COM device driver to its proper location in the 
    root directory of C:.

10. Type REN INSTALL.EXE SETUP.EXE <Press ENTER>
    This renames the INSTALL.EXE to SETUP.EXE.  SETUP.EXE is the setup   
    program for DR DOS.

11. Type SETUP <Press ENTER>
    This executes the setup program and allows the manual configuration  
    and installation of all of the individual portions of DR DOS.

Please contact Novell Technical Support if you were unable to successfully
install any portion of DR DOS.
