SYMPTOMS
========

In some situations, SETUP /E may fail, making a manual installation of the
MS-DOS utilities (Microsoft Backup, Microsoft Anti-Virus and Microsoft Undelete)
necessary.

WORKAROUND
==========

using the COPY and EXPAND commands.

The files to be expanded are shown with the destination filename to the right;
all other files simply need to be copied from the MS-DOS Upgrade disks to the
hard disk drive. All the files should be placed in the directory containing your
MS-DOS files (usually C:\DOS).
