ARTICLE-ID:Q95634
TITLE :Manual Installation Err Msg: Incompatible Partition
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
If you attempt to perform a manual installation of MS-DOS 6 Upgrade,
using the "You need to install MS-DOS manually" procedure in
Diagnosing and Solving Problems, step 3 says to use the SETUP /Q
command. However, if Setup detects you have a special master boot
record (MBR) or an incompatible partition, Setup displays the
"Incompatible partition" screen.
Workaround
----------
If you have one of the following drives and you receive this error
message, run setup with the /U and /Q switches (for example, A:SETUP
/U /Q).
- Priam
- Everex
- SpeedStor Bootall
- Micro House DrivePro
Installing the Optional Programs
--------------------------------
If you attempt to install the optional programs at a later date, you
should also use the /U switch. For example:
setup /u /e
Setup Syntax
------------
/E Installs Windows and MS-DOS optional programs.
/Q Copies MS-DOS files to a hard disk.
/U Installs MS-DOS even if Setup detects disk partitions
that might be incompatible with MS-DOS 6.
For more information of Setup switches, insert MS-DOS 6 Upgrade Setup
Disk 1 in one of your floppy disk drives, change to that drive at the
MS-DOS command prompt and type SETUP /?.
