Express Messenger hard drive Image

Managed to make a new hard drive for the express messenger. Created 2 partitions, one 225meg the other 1.6Gig using the DOS 6.22 disk. Copied the folders from a running hard drive to the new partitions, then placed the hard drive in an old laptop and installed MSDos 6.22. Had to make sure the config.sys and autoexec.bat were the original ones to boot properly. So far everything is booting and running ok. Have to do a long term test to make sure nothing strange is happening.
For an FYI, from the config files on the express messenger, here are what the lights do:
Line 5 green - System booted, running chkdsk
status dark, all others green - system doing a coldboot
status red, port 8 green - VM app failed
Line lights alternating amber and green - daily or monthly chkdsk on hard drive.
