Hi Christine.
You can do a system restore in DOS but not from the Boot menu as there is no Command
Prompt Only on a WinME system as there is on a Win98SE system. You need a bootable
floppy, thats if you have a floppy drive?
Boot up with the floppy disk inserted if it doesn't read the floppy you will have
to go into the CMOS/BIOS and change the boot sequence. Once at the A:\ prompt you
can type in Scanreg /restore and Enter and choose a date when it last started
up ok.
If you get a bad command or filename message then you can either type in Path=C:\windows\command
then type in Scanreg /restore. Or you can type in cd C:\windows\command and
type Scanreg /restore and Enter
If you want to check you drive for errors there should be Scandisk on the boot disk
you can do a full scan of your drive which will show up any bad sectors that if may
repair.
At the A:\ prompt just type in Scandisk and Enter.
