re: Why Do I Get "Bad Command or File name" message?

Make sure you have the correct boot disk and are changing the directory to the proper directory on the C drive to find the files needed to execute the command. The floppy is only to boot the machine to the DOS prompt, it won't have the files and backup registry needed to complete the command. Those are on your C drive.. If they are corrupted, you have bigger problems. You can find a correct boot disk at www.bootdisk.com if you need one. Written in response to: Why Do I Get "Bad Command or File name" message?
