SYMPTOMS
========
If you have an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) version of MS-DOS that uses
logical sectoring, you receive the following message if you start your computer
with the MS-DOS 6 or 6.2 Upgrade Setup Disk 1 in drive A:
Setup cannot install MS-DOS 6 because there is no operation system on this
computer.
CAUSE
=====
This error message is displayed because MS-DOS Upgrade does not recognize your
partitioning scheme.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem:
1. Restart (boot) your computer from the hard disk, your original OEM MS-DOS
disk, or another floppy disk that boots your current version of MS-DOS.
2. Run Setup from MS-DOS Upgrade Setup Disk 1.
Setup automatically converts your nonstandard (logical sector) large partition to
MS-DOS 5.0, 6.0, or 6.2 compatible large partitions.
