Do them from Command Prompt Only. The path command should be available. Also try them from Dos Safe Mode. You do not need the Startup diskette. Your Win98 Startup disk may have a problem. To create another one run the Fat32ebd.exe file located on the Win98 CD in the Tools/Mtsutil/Fat32ebd directory. This can be done from any Windows machine. Or create one from the machine you are on from Add/Remove Programs. Regards, Bill Watt Computer Help and Information http://home.epix.net/~bwatt/ |
