SYMPTOMS
The PC Tools version 6.0 REBUILD.COM command checks the current DOS version before it continues, and returns the following error message:
CAUSE
This is problem occurs because MS-DOS version 5.0 and later are unknown version numbers to PC TOOLS version 6.0; when it attempts to confirm the DOS version, REBUILD.COM is unable to continue.
WORKAROUND
This error message is embedded in REBUILD.COM. The only workaround for this problem is to use the MS-DOS 5.0 or later UNFORMAT command. UNFORMAT performs the same function as REBUILD.
NOTE: Using the MS-DOS 5.0 or later SETVER command does not correct this problem.
