Subject: [PCBUILD] comp. will boot with DOS disk, not without


I have a computer which will boot with a DOS disk, but not without
(probably due to a ding-dong error I comitted while looking for format
on a disk.)  I had already repartitioned the HD.

Do I need to reload DOS, or what?   And how do I do that, or whatever needs
to be done?

When you finish laughing at me, please send answers.  I'm obviously
willing to experiment, as this is a learning experience for me.

Thanks much,
Karen Smith
