TITLE :MS-DOS 6.0 SETUP /E: Error Renaming Old Utilities
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
When running MS-DOS 6 Setup with the /E parameter to install the
optional programs, Setup may display the following error:
Unrecoverable Error
Error renaming old utilities.
Press ENTER to exit Setup.
This can occur if Setup is using invalid drive information for the
drive where MS-DOS is installed. The drive information can be
corrupted by running SETUP /E when the MS-DOS directory is not listed
in the path.
To correct this problem, exit Setup and restart your computer. Make
sure the MS-DOS directory is in the path and run SETUP /E again.
More Information:
This is a known problem with MS-DOS 6.0 Setup. The MS-DOS directory
must be included in the path to run SETUP /E. If SETUP /E is run when
the MS-DOS directory is not in the path, Setup displays a warning
message stating that it is unable to locate the MS-DOS directory. If
you exit Setup, modify the path to include the MS-DOS directory, and
then run SETUP /E again, the drive information for the MS-DOS drive is
invalid. For example the "Space available on drive" information might
be incorrect. This invalid information results in the unrecoverable
error listed above.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MS-DOS Setup version
6.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here as it becomes available.
