just bought used cp/ set it up powered it on. I get Starting PC DOS. . .

It has been a "very" long time since I even saw 98 I don't have any idea
where to go from here to get the OS. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance


If your boot process has loaded any OS, you can
identify it by the DOS command
VER
This post suggests bootup may have loaded MS-DOS
version 6 or 7 but ot Windows. If you have the OS
instal CD but no suitable boot floppy (to enable the
CD drives under DOS) you can download one free
from www.bootdisk.com. See also good documentation
