hi guys.. I think I am in a mess right now. I had win98SE, but I went to msdos and formatted the drive. Well, after restarting the computer and had a winXP cd in the dvd-rom drive and nothing happened. so I started typing things in to see what I can do. I typed in "erase c:" and it asked me if I am sure. I typed in "yes" thinking it will full erase the hard drive and making it easy to instal the Windows XP cd designed for computers w/o an OS. Well.. now I get a message saying "'Type the name of the command >interpreter (egc:\windows\command.com)". NOTHING happens when I type in anything.. and I have no clue what to do. I did an online search and found a similar problem , I did what they said to do and still nothing. oh BTW... I am not sure if the laptop's HD is totally free of windows98... because for a second I see the "welcome to windows 98" screen... the same screen you see everytime you start up the computer. Any help with resloving this problem is greatly appreciated. Right now I am using the computer at work to get on here... so Shhh!!!
later!
