So now, the computer won't even start into windows 'cos in can't. so i have gone into ms-dos and it goes: C:\WINDOWS> so my first question is what do i type so that i can change it to: C:\> then how do i change it to: D:\> (not just by typing d: after C:\> 'cos i've tried it and it doesn't work) so that it is reading my cd-rom drive which will have the windows95 cd. after all this, what do i need to type/do in order to copy the system file i'm missing into the hard drive so that i can't use my system again. if this is not possible and i HAVE to format the whole drive, then how do i copy my important documents onto a floppy disk from 'my documents' I know this sound confusing but this is the best i can do to explain it, please ask for further details if needed. Many of you out there may know the solution but cannot be bothered to answer, so can i say please do answer 'cos i have many important files on this computer and hope to use it. Thanks a million in advance.	Guest (0)
