Message-ID: <2665@umriscc.isc.umr.edu> Date: 25 Apr 91 04:51:08 GMT Sender: news@umriscc.isc.umr.edu Organization: University of Missouri - Rolla Lines: 7 Originator: khawkins@mcs213f.cs.umr.edu I have a problem that maybe you guys could help me with. I accidentally removed the Command.Com program on my hard drive along with most of the other programs to other directories (yeah, I know...real stupid!). I then rebooted my system, and of course the hard drive wouldn't initialize, and when I booted up dos on disk, it couldn't access the C: drive. My question is, is there any way to regain access to the hard drive without reformatting it and therefore losing everything in there? I thought the s olution might be in changing partitions, but I'm not very well versed in my DOS usage. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty illiterate at the whole thing. So, if anyone could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. If you send an explanation, make it relatively easy to understand, because like I said, I'm kind of illiterate in this area. Thanks a million! --khawkins@cs.umr.edu
