Solve : freeDOS?

Answer»

If i press f8 i get the following:
Device....[y,n] n
Autoexec.bat [y,n] y
Set prompt=$p$g [y,n] y
Set path=c:\\bin [y,n] y
Set nlspath=c:\\nls [y n] y
Set helppath=c:\\HELP y,n y
Set temp= c:\\temp y,n
I think this keeps going if I enter y so I am going to stop before i SCREW things up even more.

If i di nothing I get:
Invalid opcode at 000B 0000 0006 544e 5952 532e 5359 0000 4esc 5c33 3a44 4443 4f52

in a nutshell, my end goal is to load Windows 7 but baring that to at least get dos RUNNING again.
The computer came preloaded with freeDOS. Here in Asia you have to load your own os. I now see why US computers come preloaded, because i am so fustrated I'd probably go postal on someone at Asus ; )Quote from: netbookidiot on November 24, 2013, 04:02:06 AM

You can keep pressing Y and when the error occurs, reboot and press N at that point. Note which line it is and REM it out.
I SUSPECT it is a corrupted TSR and may not be needed.

But to install Windows, you need an external USB DVD drive and just boot off the DVD and install Windows. It doesn't need freedos.

See the steps here: note the boot menu which selects the DVD drive and then it will be a normal install. Note the option of changing the BIOS setting if needed.

I would put the install on a usb thumb drive and install from that. I do that all the time on netbooks without optical drives.I think I finally got this to work! In the bios under security I was able to unlock USB and now Windows is loading. Hopefully the install goes well. Thank you for your help.
