SYMPTOMS
========
After upgrading to MS-DOS 6.0 from MS-DOS 5.x, one way to return to MS-DOS 5.x
is to use the Uninstall disk created during the MS-DOS 6.0 upgrade process.
However, if the Uninstall disk is unavailable and you decide to follow the
instructions on the original MS-DOS 5.x upgrade disk by running the Setup
program, you may receive the following message:
UNRECOVERABLE ERROR
Cannot identify your version of DOS.
Returning to DOS.
Press ENTER to continue.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, reboot your machine with a startup disk containing
system files of MS-DOS (version 2.11 to 5.x) and then run the Setup program for
MS-DOS 5.x.
