Ok, the same problem in in digit march 2005 issue as well. Page 82.


First soln:

Try reinstalling the ms dos thing.
Goto start>run .In the open box type: "cmd".
at the comand promt, type in the follwing commands and press enter after each command:
expand CD-ROM drive letter:\i386\config.nt_C:\windows\system32\config.nt
expand CD-ROM drive letter:\i386\autoexec.nt_C:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt
expand CD-ROM drive letter:\i386\command.com_C:\windows\system32\command.com
Exit

Now try reinstalling.

Second soln:
If the above doesn't work...

In notepda type in:
dos=high,umb
device=%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\himen.sys
files=40
save the above with name "config.nt".

now again open a blank document and type the following entries:
@echo off
1h %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\mscdexnt.exe
1h %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\redir
1h %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\dosx
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330 T3

save the file as "autoexec.nt".
Now locate the "config.nt" file and copy it to the %SYSTEMROOT%\system32 folder.

Do the same with autoexec.nt and command.com and restart...


Do the following and say if it works and i can try the same..
