I forgot to give some info. in my last post. I typed in after the A prompt
(without the quotes) " d:\setup" so that I can install windows. The computer
is telling me it is an invalid drive. So I down loaded a new driver for my
CD Rom and tried to install it, by going to A prompt and typing run and also
tried by typing install. It won't take either comand. Any suggestions?
