cody, You'll need a system running windows 98 or previous, it may be possible with M E. There are many ways to do it, but this is the one I know. Get to a dos prompt from the shutdown menu. Put a blank disk in drive a: If you're not at the c:\windows\command directory get there by typing cd\windows\command <enter> next type format /s a: <enter> next type sys a: <enter> you should get system files transferred successfully. When bootted this disk will give you the most basic a:> prompt You can add config.sys and autoexec.bat files to do other stuff you want done like load up a screen reader. Hope it works. tom Fowle Net-Tamer V 1.13 Beta - Registered VICUG-L is the Visually Impaired Computer User Group List.
