The fact that people are taking the time to help me with this problem is amazing
and humbling; at the risk of being redundant, I again offer my sincere thanks to
each of you.
It is correct that I'm not "puter savy", so I will ultimately heed the suggestion
to put the pc in the hands of a tech. I will however, attempt to follow the suggestions
made in the more recent posts as I've done with the previous ones.
RE: the status of my disks/floppy.....I'm using the boot disk that Steve suggested
I make. The CDs that came with the pc (Recovery, Backup, Reinstall, etc.) are in
pristine condition. When I was given this pc a year ago, I used them to erase/reinstall
ME without difficulty..
For what it may be worth, here's where I'm at now: When I boot up with the boot disk,
I get the "A" prompt followed by the message: "The following file is missing or corrupted:
COMMAND.COM. Type the name of the Command Interpreter (e.g., C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM)".
No matter WHAT I type after the "A" prompt, I get the same message, only the "file
is missing or corrupted, etc" statement is followed by whatever it is I have typed.
Perhaps this info may provide an "AHA!" moment to someone here, indicating a specific
step to be taken.
Otherwise, I'll give it to a tech.... :)
