Yes, I am of course aware of that, Rick.  My question is this:  Once I
transfer the DOS operating system to the HDD, will I be able to recover my
original WIN 95 installation by booting to a WIN 95 system floppy and then
tranferring the WIN 95 operating system files back to the HDD by using the
WIN 95 SYS command?
