Hi, I am faced with this problem recently. I have accidently erase my command.com in c drive and when I reboot my computer it will give me an annoying message " Non system disk or disk error. Replace and hit any key " . What I would like to know is how to reinstall the command.com without having to reformat the hard disk. Is there any software in the market that will be able to do just that ??? And if not, is there any clever way to cheat the DOS into believing that it has the the C drive using assembly language ??? I would appreciate any suggestions from the net. Thanks in advance. - Ian Edmet - Please email to : ( BITNET ) INS_ARM@JHUVMS

If you were merely missing command.com, the message would say:
"Bad or missing command interpreter"
However, that's not the message you're getting. You're problems are
far more serious than that. Command.com is merely a program which can
be copied to the hard disk from a floppy the same as any other program.
Re-format your disk with the /s switch set. If you want to try doing a
"sys c:" first from a floppy that may work, but it's doubtful.
