Avoid editing autoexec.bat and config.sys files, and create your self a shortcut. Saves a lot of problems you might get with windows, and once in the DOS mode, only when you type exit it will boot windows. Check this link. |

Hello. I just recently pulled an old computer of mine back out and reinstalled Win98 on it so that I could run older games without having to worry about emulation problems. When I first reinstalled, my recovery disk made two logical partitions on my HD, C: and D: and it set my CDROM drive to G:. After trying to install Stonekeep from within Windows, and then getting an error during sound setup about missing files, I figured that Stonekeep was probably looking at the D drive instead of G. So I removed my D: partition and reassigned my CDROM drive to D:. But now when I boot into DOS I get an "Invalid Drive Specification" when I try to change to D:. I've edited my autoexec.bat and config.sys files for DOS and I have support for everything I should, I believe. Here are copies of those files: AUTOEXEC.BAT ------------------ SET WINBOOTDIR=C:\WINDOWS LH C:\WINDOWS\AU30DOS.COM @ECHO OFF LH /L:1 C:\DOS\MOUSE.COM SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D3 T4 PROMPT $P$G REM REM The following lines have been created by Windows. Do not modify them. REM C: CD C:\WINDOWS CALL C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM C:\WINDOWS\WIN.COM /WX CONFIG.SYS --------------- NUMLOCK=ON BREAK=ON DOS=HIGH,UMB,NOAUTO FILESHIGH=40 FCBSHIGH=1,0 BUFFERSHIGH=30,0 LASTDRIVEHIGH=J STACKSHIGH=9,256 DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /V DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386 RAM /MIN=0 IB000-B7FF /V DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\OAKCDROM.SYS /D:MSC000 SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E:1024 /P I tried the boot disk from this site, in fact that's where most of the content of my autoexec.bat and config.sys came from. I just copied all the files from the boot disk into c:\dos. I would appreciate any help anyone could give me. |
