I just bought a Compaq Deskpro EN computer from a school auction & have it setup and running. The screen is asking for a command and I have no clue what it wants. It has ms-dos (r) version 6.20. Can anyone tell me what command I need. NOTHING has worked so far.
Thanks for any helpThey erased the whole hard drive including Windows. Just reinstall Windows and you should be fine.Do you have an operating system to load on it?Yes, I do.So what does the OS says? Or do you just get a C:/>I haven't loaded anything as of yet. I do have a windows xp i can load into it. The screen is displaying
C:/>Have you tried typing win and then hitting enter ? ?
If Windows is still on that machine this is how to start it.

If not restart the machine with a Windows CD and the setup process will start.

patio. Win did not work so I will load the CD. ThanksYou're Welcome....and let us know how it goes.

patio. What are the specs on that machine - RaM, hard drive and video? It will be in the setup screen (F10 at boot up)

Is this a legal COPY of XP you got for that machine? If not activated in 30 days it will cease to function.
