Solve : windows xp needs answers to boot off ms-dos boot disk?

Answer»

I ran Ad-Aware, disk cleanup, defrag, and then let scandisk or checkdisk run at night while I SLEPT. It was set to autofix any problems. In the morning the internet wouln't work, so I REBOOTED. Then Windows XP would not come on. I MADE a boot disk from my other computer (both registered copies of windows) and used it to boot my first computer. Also, tried to boot with windows xp installation disk. All choices I GET by hitting f5 or by just letting either of the two disks run their course, is the command prompt with something like:
C:\windows\
What do I put in here to get windows to load?
Thanks in advance for any response and hopefully help.What type of bootdisk did you create ? ?
XP startup disks require 6 floppies...
You can't just use any flavor of Windows to get XP to boot normally.

p.s. You could try typing win at that prompt and hitting Enter...Ensure you have the correct boot disks as patio says. Download from

if you are not sure.
