I'm not sure , but I've seen this similiar happening, when there is a exe. virus. It's a very old virus , but still continues to pop up once in a while. Seems to be on a lot of peoples old dos discs. I didn't read if this was a new hard drive or not , but makes me wonder the origin of the Dos . Can make it real difficult to install systems.

Best Regards
Duane Crooks

PW, you did your homework. I still don't know for sure how an upgrade Win CD is different from a full installation Win CD. The latter costs more. :) And, since it may have to be installed on a pc with nothing but DOS on it, it should respond to the DOS command setup.exe.
But the upgrade Win CD presumes there is already a version of Windows on the pc - or does it?

Maybe Dave can tell us what it says on his CD.
