2100  (250-1624)               DOS 6.2 Stepup          Faxback Doc. # 2837

When installing DOS the DOS 6.2 Stepup you will encounter the following
message:

"BOOT SECTOR WRITE!!! POSSIBLE VIRUS:  CONTINUE (Y/N)"

This message is displayed because the 2100 has Boot Sector virus
protection enabled in the CMOS RAM.  When DOS 6.0 or DOS 6.2 install
programs attempt to write the system files, IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS, to the
boot sector of the hard disk the above message is displayed.

There are two solutions to keep this error from occurring.

1.  When the message appears press the Y key to continue.  The setup will
    complete and function correctly.

2.  In the Advanced CMOS Setup of the computer, disable the BootSector
    Virus Protection.  This will stop the error from reappearing.

NOTE: Refer to FaxBack document #2505 for instructions on the CMOS Setup.

3. Once DOS 6.0 or 6.2 is installed, you can go back to the Advanced CMOS
   Setup and enable BootSector Virus Protection.
