Loading an Updated Operating System,Page 169, 2kxl manual

From time to time, updated operating systems will become available on floppy disks or can be
downloaded from our internet web site.

To update your operating system, insert the floppy disk (or connect the SCSI device which contains
the files of the operating system) and hold down SHIFT and press LOAD (numeric key 3).

Select either the MPC2KXL.EXE or MPC2KXL.SYS file in the File: field and press DO IT [F6].

Press DO IT [F6] again, the system will be automatically updated and a display will appear to
prompt you to restart the MPC2000XL.

Either you had a bad os download, bad floppy disk or both.
