Okay well my sisters computer is really messed up. Its an old Compaq Presario, (at least 7 years old), and it had Windows XP illegally installed on it. A combination of my own morals and the sluggish peformance of the computer made me want to reformat it using Windows 98.
So I throw in the Compaq restore disc, and it starts doing its thing. It formats the drive, then after a while this screen comes up:
Then i can type in commands after the "A:\>" but I can't get past this stage of the setup. Any ideas?
