re: windows ME corrupted how to repair?? Tuesday, May 22, 2007 at 1:33 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ed (603 messages posted) MSDOS.SYS is a hidden file in the C:\ root directory, so to edit it at the DOS prompt type these entries, pressing ENTER after each line - C: CD \WINDOWS\COMMAND ATTRIB -R -H -S C:\MSDOS.SYS EDIT C:\MSDOS.SYS However, this will not assist you, since in Windows ME the WinBootDir entry is in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. This is a hidden file in the C:\ root directory. To edit it type these entries, pressing ENTER after each line - C: CD \WINDOWS\COMMAND ATTRIB -R -H -S C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT EDIT C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT This will run the Edit program, with which you carefully change only the WinBootDir line so that it reads thus: SET winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS Ed On Sunday, May 13, 2007 at 8:14 pm, firekiller15 wrote: >Thank for the site but i not really sure about the step for example "Modify the WinBootDir >entry in the Msdos.sys file to point to the correct location of the Windows folder" >How i modify and what step i need to use to go into winbootdir??
