I have installed MSdos 71 on my old HP Vectra 386 but I cant get it to boot up. After bios its says 'Cannot find operating system' then it hangs. There is no other OS on this system. When I use a startup floppy for win 98 to get to dos prompt and I type autoexec, then MSdos starts up. I have done the sys c: and it was a success, I even tried tinkering with MSDos.sys file but after several fdisk /mbr, rebuilding mbr etc, I am still not able to boot from C: hard drive.
Any help is appreciated.
