IS IT THAT MUCH HARDER TO DO WITH A CD-CAN IT BE DONE WITH ONE?

try what Wannabe asked
Rule 1

THE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON-I CANNOT BELIEVE IT-I AM GOING TO GO TRY IT AGAIN

[caron]

I DON'T KNOW IF I'M IN A PANIC OR GOING TO CRY I FEEL ALL HOT-BUT IF IT DOES NOT WORK IHAVE LEARNED MY LESSON WITH REGARD TO THE IMPORTANCE OF ANTIVIRUS STUFF

THATS WHY I WAS SO SCARED TO DISABKLE IT EVEN FOR A MOMENT- BECAUSE I THINK THAT IS HOW IT HAPPENED IREAD SOMEWHERE THAT THE POTENTIAL VIRUS CAN BE WAITING AT A POST FOR ENTRY A THE PRECISE MOMENT I DON'T REALLY KNOW

[peterm]

ok take a couple of Deep breaths and calm down.
If it won't start from the floppy drive make sure you are at the c:>
and type in what I show you.
C:>rename autoexec.bat autoexec.bak eneter

c:>rename config.sys config.bak enter

CTRL ALT DEL
will it boot to windows now?
