I messed up and now i cant get out of dos!
« on: July 30, 2007, 01:07:59 PM »
Hi, i have a gateway2000 solo laptop model no: solo 2100. (pentium mmx 150)
It has windows nt and windows 95 on it, i set it to change from win nt to win 95 on reboot and after restarting it, the computer keeps asking for a backpack cd rom unit that i dont have and goes into ms dos! I have tried to get it to switch back to win nt but with no success (since i dont know much about ms dos), is there any way to run win nt from ms dos? Or will i have to re install windows? This laptop doesnt have a cd drive.

At the C: prompt type in CD\WinNT and hit Enter...
At the C:\WinNT prompt type in Win and hit Enter...

For Win 98 it would be:

Type in CD\Win and hit Enter
Then at the C:\Win prompt type in win and hit Enter.
