Hello all and happy holidays. Just got a new Maxtor 20 gig hard drive for my old computer. I guess its so old it only sees 8.4 of the gigs. I fdisked the 8.4 gigs (dont know what happened to the rest??) formated, and installed windows 98. Loaded office 2000 and upgraded IE to 6.0. Ran great for several hours (better than it has for a long time!) shut it down (shut down just fine), and when I came out and started it up again, it started up just fine until it said verifying DMI pool data and the next line says, and I quote "type the name of the command interpreter (e.g., C:\windows\command.com) It gives me a C prompt but whatever I type in it says the same thing, "type the name of the command interpreter (e.g., C:\windows\command.com). Can anyone help???
