Whoops, pasted my fixed CONFIG.SYS in by mistake - here's the original one:

DEVICE=A:\HIMEM.EXE
LASTDRIVE=Z
BUFFERS=20
FILES=40
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DOSDATA=UMB
SHELLHIGH=A:\command.com /P

Welp, found the issue. The upgrade was on a bootable DOS ISO, take a look at this CONFIG.SYS:

DEVICE=HIMEM.EXE
LASTDRIVE=Z
BUFFERS=20
FILES=40
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DOSDATA=UMB
SHELLHIGH=command.com /P

I think the bootable ISO is trying to mount as C:\. In any case, throwing the important files in a bootable flash drive worked.
I booted to the ISO in my laptop, and got a constant string of:

CONFIG.SYS error
Overflow in line XX (where XX was constantly counting up).

Strange. Re-burning the ISO now.

I only go sans pants on games with Xbox camera support..
Killed my Dell Mini 9. Which is OK, I was looking for an excuse to install Windows 7 on it. Glad they broke it *after* Win7 was released.

"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
