I am having a problem with an IBM PC using DOS 2.0, 660K memory, an expansion with 10 Meg disk. The problem is that if I try to format a disk in the b: drive using the /s/v option I get an error indicating that I have insufficient memory to transfer the system files. I can reboot the dos disk and the format /s/v works. I reformatted the c: drive, restored the files and it works ok. The problems reoccurs though and at random times. I have yet to pin down any one parameter thats triggers it. Has anyone seen this problem? Please reply to dbaker@ecla Thanking you in advance, Dwight Baker, Hughes Aircraft Electro Optical Group
