SYMPTOMS
If your system has a Plus Development Passport hard drive as the second physical hard drive, the MS-DOS 5.0 and later Setup program may stop responding (hang) or give disk errors when setup is 99 percent complete.



WORKAROUND
According to Plus technical support, to successfully install MS-DOS, you must remove the Passport driver (PLUSDRV.SYS) from CONFIG.SYS, reboot the system, then run the MS-DOS Setup program. This makes the Passport drive invisible to Setup. After Setup is complete, place PLUSDRV.SYS back in the CONFIG.SYS file.



MORE INFORMATION
NOTE: Because the Passport hard drive is removable, it is usually the second hard drive.
