Help with MSDOS.

Post by Will Sharber »

I quit using zzt after my computer quit working. And I can't get into dos. Whenever I try a box pops up that says ,"A device attached to the system is not functioning." Do any of you computer poops know anything about how to fix it. Any suggestions would be tops so give 'em.

uh, if you can't get into MS-Dos and for whatever reason you must use MS-Dos then look around on htp://dosos.com somewhere there's a program that makes a dos startup disk for you. But uh... yeah... I don't even know if that's what you mean :(

depending on your Pc, try these solutions.
Older machines - Press F5 when it says starting MSDOS, to stop the TRS loading
95+ machines
use a bootdisk. If you don't have one, ask a friend ["you do have friends don't you?" "Super friends." "Why not get friends that are not on paper." "I have actions figures." (simpsons)] with a pc to help you make a boot disk.
newer machines? You're asking the wrong guy. G'day.

Zane: an OS is an "operating system", maybe you've heard of it
