E What do you mean, make a copy of "WIN.COM You told me to type it in someplace when i need to use the rescue disks. See #reply-16463473 To get back to Windows from a dos "c" prompt you type win and then hit enter and you will be booted back to your desktop. Your line should look like this.. C:\Windows>win (and then hit enter) You won't have to worry about doing this from your rescue disks.

Power comes on BIOS does some system checking, (including memory testing) Code in BIOS supplies code to read disk Disk is read for additional code needed for booting to DOS DOS executes WIN.COM WIN.COM loads Windows You can test this easily: Boot to DOS, then type WIN.
