Hi Milton,

  You should copy the file in question (MSCDEX.EXE, usually found in
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM of any Windows-95/98 PC) to your "boot device" (a NOSPIN
boot diskette?) and then edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the diskette:

find the line that looks like the error you've seen:
LH c:\path\mscdex.exe /d, etc.

and fix the path to point to the diskette:

LH A:\mscdex.exe /d, etc.

That should fix the problem.

Yours,
