Hi Dave,
	I installed the international version of F1GP, with no problems! And 
afterwards installed DOS6 with no problems.  I suggest you run chkdsk on the
drive with F1GP.  If no errors are found, then check the installation disks.
If this does not work and I presume you are not using doublespace, then check
that you have enough memory!  From here I have not got the faintest idea to go!

I hope this helps,
