I tried to make an already working computer better. Big Mistake! Now it only goes to 'Non-System disk error Replace and press any key when ready'. I even screwed up the autoexec.bat and config.sys. I had to reinstall DOS 6.22 because I messed that up to. Can any one help me?

Take your 622 bootdisk and use it to start the computer to an A:> prompt - then enter:

sys c:

.. you'll see system transferred

hopefully that'll restore the bootfiles to the hard drive. Remove the floppy & restart.
