NOTE: You must have at least 3-4 megabytes of free space on drive C to use this
procedure.
1. Run Setup with the /Q switch by typing the following at the MS-DOS command
prompt and then pressing ENTER:
" setup /q" (without the quotation marks)
2. Press ENTER at the Welcome to Setup screen.
3. The next screen gives you the option to change your computer type, MS-DOS
path, and display type. Use the arrow keys to select MS-DOS Path, then press
ENTER.
4. Type the drive and path to which you want to install MS-DOS.
5. To transfer the new system files (IO.SYS, MS-DOS.SYS, COMMAND.COM, and

then press ENTER:
" setup /" (without the quotation marks)
You have now upgraded your operating system to MS-DOS 6.0. The boot drive (C)
