Help!  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,
