Title: new dos computer
Post by: NAMED on November 02, 2004, 10:21:31 PM

hey.
i just got a new computer. but it isnt seeming to run win98
because i reformatted it (format C: )
but after its finished installing win98 it always freezes...

ANYWAYS
i got a dos boodisk from www.bootdisk.com
but i dont know realy how to do anythin in my "new"
dos computer.
the only thing it has is the
A:\>
line. No C:\ or D:\ exists
anyways i know how to use edit
and i have some games of of www.dosgames.com that will run on the computer
(Real fun old ones like mario,digger,alleycat, and all the commandor keen games.)
but i dont know anythinbg to do really.
apparently my dad just bought me a huge book on dos
and hes sent it to me :D but i dont want to wait for it (from montreal to vancouver)
so does anyone have any "useful" commands of programs i could use?
