Answer» i recently bought an old gateway pc with win 98 se on it. my HARD drive crashed and i found the restore cd inside the tower but it is a GHOST restore cd in ms-dos. i FIGURED out how to boot to ms-dos,but how do i get the cd to run and reinstall windows and my drivers?What files are on the CD? You need to see if the CD is bootable. Put it in and power down completly. Then power up the machine. It should boot up to a Dos PROMPT. At the prompt type in D:\ and hit Enter to log the CD drive. At the D: prompt type dir /p and hit Enter which will give you a directory listing of what's on the CD. There should be a Ghost dir. or a setup.exe. To Change to the Ghost directory type CD\Ghostand hit Enter. At the Ghost directory and type ghost and hit Enter which will load the Ghost program... Follow the ONSCREEN prompts and it should restore the machine.
If all of this does not work you will need to find a DOS ver. of Ghost which fits on a floppy and is bootable. Good Luck.
