I erased the old OS from my PC, reformatted my HD and installed MS-DOS 6.22. When I reboot, it complains "no bootable partition" I have tried: 1)DOS standard format 2)format c: /s 3)boot disk(This hangs there, does not really boots the system 4)sys c:
All these DO NOT work at all. my pc is pemtium II 350MHZ

Hi,
Run FDISK and use 4th menu item to see your drive partitions information. Make sure your Primary DOS partition is set Active. If the partition is already active, try to run Fdisk /MBR to restore Master Boot Record then proceed with Sys C: command.
Good luck, Igor M
