inscribed thus:

I just put together a 686 to transfer dos files from an ailing 486's
hard drives. I was intending to use interlink or laplnk to do this.
For the secons computer I found an old 1 gig (approx) hard drive
with windows 95 on it. I reformated it from a dos 6.2 disk I had and
installed dos 6.2 on it. I then transfered the system from the
floppy to the hard drive. I got a "system transfered" message and
assumed that I now had a bootable hard drive. The problem is that it
will not boot from the hard drive. Command .com now shows to be in
C:\ but I can't seem to figure out what I did wrong. Does anyone
have any ideas? Thanks, Lenny Stein, Barlen Electronics.

Run "fdisk" and check that the drive is marked active.
