After some software anomolies, I decided to run a disk optimizer
(fastrax), which had me run chkdsk first. It found problems in a
hidden file ibmbio.com among others, and truncated it. Not knowing the
significance at the time, I compacted away. Later, when my machine
wouldn't boot, I deleted and copied both ibmbio.com and ibmdos.com
several ways, ("sys" didnt work), but cannnot solve it and I suspect
some directory tinkering might. I am runing msdos 3.30 on a zenith
supersport286e.
I know I can fully back up my disk, then reformat it, and run
install and sys, but that will take many hours and floppies. Do any
experts know a shorter way? Thanks in advance.
