Not true.  The newer versions  allow you to install a new version of	
DOS over an older one, efectively replacing the information, without 
backing up the hard disk, or taking any other special precautions (altho
it would't be a bad idea to back the thing up just in case).  I can speak
from experience since this is the procedure I used when moving from 3.30	
to 4.01 (IBM)  I assume that MS-DOS  will work in the same manner.
