| 219553 | 2004-03-02 08:10:00 | You dont say what operating system you are running, but you can only transfer the system files for the system you are running, as each OS has different command.com IO.sys etc. In win9x some dos files are in c:\windows and some in c:\windows\command where sys.com is located, so c:\windows\command should also be in the path. In Win3x. the dos files are in c:\dos from memory, so your path should be something like: c:\;c:\dos;c:\windows; |

| 219554 | 2004-03-02 08:13:00 | I used the word 'files' to mean .exe, .bat, .com programs as well as any dos text and help files. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 219555 | 2004-03-02 08:17:00 | "sys a:" is the correct command - I presume you issued it with your prompt saying "C:\>". "Format a: /s " is also correct - sounds like you have something wrong with your system! | JohnD (509) | ||
