If you only have DOS 6.22 on the HDD theres not much point looking for win3.1 disk1!! the problem must be with the DOS files.

Have you tried formatting and installing the 3.1 without the dos on it? I know where I can put my hands on the 3.1 version in 5.25 disks, but they ain't cheap. It's at an old computer goodwill store, but they have everything including windows 2.0. But I would try going around the dos first before I tried replacing a disk that might not be bad.
