| 242185 | 2004-06-06 04:56:00 | Start > Run and type in cmd for a command line interface. It's only a DOS emulator, you can't actually boot to DOS in Win2k or XP unless you use a boot disk. Cheers Murray P |

| 242186 | 2004-06-06 04:57:00 | There is no DOS in Windows 2000. Its a DOS free environment. Same as XP. There is a DOS emulator that runs under Windows, but its still in Windows, not a real DOS environment. |

| 242190 | 2004-06-06 05:42:00 | Oh, do we have to use "CHKDSC" to be correct then? | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 242191 | 2004-06-06 05:45:00 | And what does "FDISC" do, if it is such a bad command or file name ;) R2 |

Disc is generally used for the compact discs. Check these out: www.randomhouse.com encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com forum.osnn.net The way I remember which to use is C on the end to match CD and K for the other disk. :-) |

Markp was having a bit of fun with the pedants, thought I'd join in :) and have a wee dig at the continuation of our inevitable loss of identity. Cheers Murray ;P |
