SUMMARY
=======
To completely reinstall MS-DOS 6.22 from the Step-Up disks, you must first
reinstall the version of MS-DOS that was on the system prior to MS-DOS 6.22.
This process can become complicated if the drive containing the MS-DOS directory
has been compressed using DriveSpace.
The only supported method for reinstalling the MS-DOS 6.22 Step-Up on such
systems is to uncompress the drive containing the MS-DOS directory before
proceeding with the reinstallation of the prior MS-DOS version.
MORE INFORMATION

on a DriveSpace-compressed drive, use the following steps:
1. Uncompress the drive containing the MS-DOS directory.
2. Run Setup with the /F parameter to create a single startup floppy disk that
contains system files from the version of MS-DOS that was on the system prior
to MS-DOS 6.22.

4. Reinstall the prior version of MS-DOS by running "setup" (without the
