Solve : Want to run win98 from a dos boot?

Answer»

I have an Itronix laptop that is running Win98
It has a PCMCIA slot that I have a COMPACT flash card I can insert
The flashcard is formatted with Win98 system files
With the flashcard out the laptop boots to Win98
With the flashcard in it boots to Dos
After booting to Dos with the flashcard can I run Win98 directly from Dos ?
I try going to the Win98 directory and typing "win"
But I get errors that say..."Cannot find a device file that MAY be needed to run windows"
I tried putting "path=d:\;d:\windows;d:\windows\system\" in the AUTOEXEC boot file but doesnt help
Just i can say that.... we can run dos using windows but not windows by dos. SINCE dos is inbuilt in windows.

regards,
chinnachinna with Windows 98 it is the other way around. It is actually built on top of DOS. You're THINKING about cmd in windows 2000/XP/Vista which many people mistakenly think is DOS.

zebra why do you want to run Win98 from a flash card if you already got it installed on your hard drive?
