- Does anyone know what I can do about this problem so I can get WINDOWS running
- on my computer:
-
- Recently just bought an IBM compatible POSITIVE computer (goin out of business)
- and bought the 486-33 microprocessor for it...I got a deal on this computer
- because it was on display...but the problem is, when I try to get into WINDOWS..
- an error occurs and the screen displays something to this extent:
-
- Can't get into WINDOWS. BOOT DRIVE file WINA20.386 missing....
-
- What can I do about this. Unfortunately, I don't have the startup disks for
- windows....
-
- ALSO:
-
- Even though this is out of the Windows subject...how do you copy a file with
- many subdirectories when the file needs more disk space than a single disk..
- In other words..how do you continue copying from the point you left off...
-
- ALL EMAIL response will be appreciated...
-
- Thanks.
