SYMPTOMS
========
When you install MS-DOS version 6.22 and Setup is 99 percent complete, the
following error message is displayed:
UNRECOVERABLE ERROR
Hard disk write Error
Press Enter to restart system.
After you restart the system, the following error is generated:
The MS-DOS 6.22 Setup was not completed.
Insert the uninstall #1 diskette in drive A
Press the ENTER key to continue
CAUSE
=====
This problem can occur on systems with non-bootable SCSI devices (such as a
floptical drive or a CD-ROM drive) configured for SCSI ID 1 or 0 (zero). Device
IDs 0 and 1 are reserved for bootable/writeable "hard disk type" media;
therefore, Setup treats a device mounted as SCSI ID 1 or 0 as a hard disk
device. If the device does not respond appropriately, the above errors are
generated.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, reconfigure the device to ID 2 or higher.
