Does DOS have ot be installed or can I just use a boot disk. Because I've been using Hiren's boot disk and I'm beginning to think that's where my problem is coming from. I guess that's the next thing I'll try, then.

Is the only folder that needs to be installed the i386 folder or do I need OEM as well?
