SYMPTOMS
If you install the MS-DOS Upgrade on a machine running Dell DOS version
3.3, you may be unable to access all your partitions after you upgrade your
computer.
WORKAROUND
If you have already installed the MS-DOS Upgrade and you cannot see all
your partitions, restart your computer with the Uninstall disk in drive A
to uninstall MS-DOS.
To work around this problem, back up your data, repartition your hard
disk drive, install the MS-DOS upgrade, and then restore your data.
For specific instructions on repartitioning your hard disk drive without
losing data, see the "Repartitioning Your Hard Disk" section in following
