bypassing windows - to c: prompt
My brother's pc is doing the same thing. The only files
I can find in the root C: directory is the command.com i.e. no config.sys or io.sys. I've run sys c: from the backup disk, it says file transferred but still can't find the files. If I type win from the prompt, it says himem.sys is missing (also says this on scanreg), but the himem file is there in c:\windows and I've also extracted it from the cab files on the cd. Any ideas? -----Original Message----- On Thu, 10 Jun 2004 17:20:58 -0700, "Valerie" wrote: After deleting some files, I was prompted to re-start the computer.

Io.sys and msdos.sys are hidden files. Enter this: dir /a /o /p They should be there after a SYS C: There may be no config.sys, it's not needed for Windows. From the Dos prompt enter Path. does it include C:\windows\command. ? Do you get into windows if you enter this: C:\windows\win.com Enter MEM /C Does it show all your memory?
