- Oh please, oh please, can somebody HELP ME!?!?!
-
- About a day ago I started getting some rather strange errors from my
-
- system... Today I finally ran chkdsk and found there were some errors,
- so I had chkdsk fix them... Anyway, now I eliminated the "sector not
- found" error, but it's now the other error of "Invalid COMMAND, Command
- not found, system halted..." I have no idea what it could be... I ran
- Norton Disk Doctor and ran a full set of tests on the hard drive, and
- found nothing... So then I thought I might have some new type of virus
- and it might be somehow corrupting command.com. Well, I ran SCAN 95b,
- which is the latest version out to my knowledge, and found nothing.
- So then I ran Central Point Anti-Virus, and it found nothing, then
- I ran Virus Safe, and still found nothing...
-
-
- It doesn't always crash, sometimes it will let me boot the system and then
- when I exit from a program such as FrontDoor (which I need for my BBS) it
- says "Invalid Command, Command not found, system halted" and it specifies
- that command.com is invalid or something along those lines... Does
- anybody know what the heck I could have done? I honestly can't figure
- anything out, and nobody I've talked with can come up with anything
- either...
-
- I can boot off of A: fine and then transfer to C: and load and use some
- programs, but that's about it, if I get too intense in what I'm doing, that
- error pops up and I get a system lockup again...
-
- ANY HELP is extremely appreciated... I've about gotten to the end of my
- rope on advice, and I thought this might hopefully be the place to inquire
- about this strange problem...
