| 307594 | 2004-12-26 07:47:00 | Hi, today i have put together a computer from various parts i have had lying around for some time. I based the system around a compaq deskpro with a 233mHz processor(dont laugh) and used the hard drive from a working machine. I booted it up and everthing seemed to be working alright, but a message turns up saying "please type the location of the command interpretor(e.g. c:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM) a>" I tried typing in what it said but nothing happened. I have a windows 98 se CD, "For computers without windows" I attempted to create a boot disk from that. What should I do? How can the be fixed? Thanks |
