PC Tools 6.0 REBUILD.COM Incompatible with MS-DOS 5.0 and Later (71533)
The information in this article applies to:
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 5.0
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 5.0a
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.0
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.2
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.21
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.22

SYMPTOMS
The PC Tools version 6.0 REBUILD.COM command checks the current DOS version
before it continues, and returns the following error message:
Wrong DOS
CAUSE
This is problem occurs because MS-DOS version 5.0 and later are unknown
version numbers to PC TOOLS version 6.0; when it attempts to confirm the
DOS version, REBUILD.COM is unable to continue.
WORKAROUND
This error message is embedded in REBUILD.COM. The only workaround for this
problem is to use the MS-DOS 5.0 or later UNFORMAT command. UNFORMAT
performs the same function as REBUILD.
NOTE: Using the MS-DOS 5.0 or later SETVER command does not correct this
problem.
