This time, I still get TWO items on the Windows NT/2000 boot loader menu
1. Windows 2000
2. MS-DOS (as opposed to "Previous Operating System on C:")
I can confirm this: strangely upgrading from DOS 6.22, Win2000setup
doesn't finish and I get a spontaneous reboot during last phase of setup.
Hehe, so I guess there's a difference between simply using DOS 6.22
format, and actually using DOS 6.22 SYS. Maybe the IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS and
COMMAND.COM cause the issue.
FORMAT C: (using the MS bootdisk), then copy IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS to the
harddisk, and COMMAND.COM. This should get the same result as 'SYS C:'
once that's done, test it.
After that, try only switching the bootsector by creating a replacement
bootsector for DOS 6.22 using FreeDOS SYS v3.6 (www.fdos.org/kernel):
SYS C: C: /BOOTONLY /OEM:MS
Then install Win2000. It should offer either 'previous OS' (because of
unrecognized bootsector) or MS-DOS 6.22 (because of not only the
unrecognized bootsector, but also the presence of files that it points
to: MSDOS.SYS, IO.SYS (and command.com)
