bad comand or file name .
ANY answer for this one ,no recovery cd or original floppy .
Thank you for your time KAJUNA

Of course you do have format.com on the floppy.

the WinME bootdisk doesn't have c:/s
But the Win98 bootdisk does

Just boot with the win98 cd and follow on screen instructions it will format and everything itsself

< format c: /s >

are u aware of the the single space between c: and /s )c: /s
let us know if it work or try some time new.
