Hello Mart,

Now THAT I understand.

I question why, in light of the excellent re-install I got
in Windows, is it thought preferable to do it in DOS?


Among other things, is the keyword "RE-install", ie: Windows is already
there and can be used. Obviously, for a fresh install, Windows isn't
there so therefore can't be used.

However, I think you can reinstall in DOS as well... this is preferable
because DOS mode is much more simple, uses a small fraction of the
resources that Windows needs, and is less prone to failure.
