The information in this article applies to:
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.0
This article was previously published under Q101763
SYMPTOMS
After upgrading to MS-DOS 6.0 from MS-DOS 5.x, one way to return to
MS-DOS 5.x is to use the Uninstall disk created during the MS-DOS 6.0
upgrade process. However, if the Uninstall disk is unavailable and you
decide to follow the instructions on the original MS-DOS 5.x upgrade
disk by running the Setup program, you may receive the following
message:
UNRECOVERABLE ERROR
Cannot identify your version of DOS.
Returning to DOS.
Press ENTER to continue.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, reboot your machine with a startup disk
containing system files of MS-DOS (version 2.11 to 5.x) and then run
the Setup program for MS-DOS 5.x.
