Hope this can help. What's on the startup floppy on my notebook.
[The AUTOEXEC.BAT file]

IF "%config%"=="NOCD" GOTO QUIT

My suggestion: See if you can get enough info from these files to re-create a bootable floppy for yourself. Obviously, our systems differ, but if you can get yours to crawl, then limp, then walk, perhaps running cannot be too far off.
Please let us know how you progress. We can suggest with more accuracy once we have a clearer idea of what we're dealing with.
Happy Easter, PW. |
