The messages you got while booting mean your installation floppies are corrupted or unreadable, as otherwise you saw during the copy process. In fact your system lacks the extended memory manager (HiMem.sys) and the hard disk cacher (SmartDrv.exe) and more (Bad command or file name). You can still use the system, but it may be unstable and show poor performance lacking of memory and speed. Get an integer set of diskettes and reinstall.

Summary: Well, that shouldn't happen. The whole purpose in booting from a floppy is to use the DOS that's actually on the diskette - you may have a bad one - or else something is being loaded from the disk th...
