SYMPTOMS
If you try to run Microsoft Backup from a floppy disk to restore files to a hard disk drive, the following error message is displayed:

MSBACKUP program files must be located on your hard disk.

You cannot start MSBACKUP from a floppy disk.



WORKAROUND
To restore files to a hard disk drive that does not have MS-DOS version 6.0 or later installed, use the following steps:
 * 1) Insert Disk 1 of the MS-DOS 6.0 or later disk set in your floppy disk drive. Type setup/m and press ENTER to install a minimal installation.
 * 2) Remove Disk 1 from your floppy disk drive and restart the computer.
 * 3) Replace Disk 1, type setup/e to install optional components.

You can now run Microsoft Backup from the DOS subdirectory and restore files.
