Problem

Solutions: When trying to run a check disk, a customer received the message "Incorrect DOS Version." The user found that the version of DOS used to format the hard drive was different than what the CHKDSK.COM file came from. Different versions of DOS cannot be mixed. If this error appears suggest that the user verify that all DOS files are the same version. Look at the file date of COMMAND.COM in the ROOT directory to see which is the correct file date for the version of DOS that is booting the computer. Typing VER at a DOS prompt will tell you the version of DOS that is booting the computer.
