IO.SYS & MSDOS.SYS File Sizes Don't Change After Uninstalling (100853)
The information in this article applies to:
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.0
This article was previously published under Q100853
SYMPTOMS
If you remove MS-DOS 6 Upgrade using the Uninstall disk you created during
installation, IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS still have the MS-DOS 6 file sizes (the
original date and time are correct).
CAUSE
This situation occurs because Uninstall overwrites the MS-DOS 6 IO.SYS
and MSDOS.SYS files with the previous versions of IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS
but does not delete the MS-DOS 6 files first (nor does it truncate the
files after overwriting them).
