Okay. I'm slowly getting there. I made the backup DOS boot disk two nights ago, but when I got home and tried to load it I got the following error:
Disk I/O error
Replace the disk, and then press any key
I figured the DOS program wasn't being recognized on my Dell for some reason, so I went back to my work PC today and recreated the boot disk. Afterwards, I renamed mode.com to mode.exe.
I tried loading that new boot disk and I had success...the PC gave me a A:\> prompt. I thought I was in the clear. I typed "cd C:/windows/system32" and received "Invalid drive specification". I tried "cd C:" and received the same error.
How can I get my PC to recognize my C drive through the MS-DOS floppy backup?
