Hi Graham:

Let's snoop around a little.

Boot up to DOS using the F8 key again.

Put a blank floppy disk in the floppy drive,
then from the
C:\>
prompt, type
COPY autoexec.bat A:\
and press ENTER.

Then
COPY config.sys A:\
and press ENTER.

Then type
ATTRIB -r -a -s -h msdos.sys
and press ENTER.

Then
COPY msdos.sys A:\
and press ENTER.

Then, paste the contents of each file here.
They're all text files, and can be opened with
NOTEPAD, or your favorite text editor.

Note:  MSDOS.SYS may have a big section of "Xs" --
we don't need that part -- just the stuff at the
top of the file.

Jerry
