Tried that, both from the newly installed MSDOS (6.22) and from a DOS boot
floppy, but it didn't help.  One wierd thing is that when I try sys c: I
get an error message to the effect that there's no room on the disk.  I
know that's not true: there must be at least 30MB of free space on that
partition.  I've got an old copy of Norton Utilities here I'll have to try
running on that drive next time I can take a crack at it.

If only I had a working floppy in this laptop . . .
