SYMPTOMS
If you have an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) version of MS-DOS that
uses logical sectoring, you receive the following message if you start your
computer with the MS-DOS 6 or 6.2 Upgrade Setup Disk 1 in drive A:
Setup cannot install MS-DOS 6 because there is no operation system on
this computer.
CAUSE
This error message is displayed because MS-DOS Upgrade does not recognize
your partitioning scheme.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem:
• Restart (boot) your computer from the hard disk, your original OEM
MS-DOS disk, or another floppy disk that boots your current version of
MS-DOS.
• Run Setup from MS-DOS Upgrade Setup Disk 1.
Setup automatically converts your nonstandard (logical sector) large
partition to MS-DOS 5.0, 6.0, or 6.2 compatible large partitions.
