I loaded it from a Windows 95 cdrom. Second question, being as once the computer goes into Windows it is shutting down, how do I access MS-DOS? When you hit F1 and get the menu that gives you the choice to go into safe mode (which is not working in Windows) is there also a command in that menu that would bring me the c:\ prompt to work with? Sorry for so many questions, don't want to do more damage. Thanks
