Solve : Windows 98 will not start from DOS?

Answer» <html><body><p>Ok, so here is what has happened so far... <br/> <br/>A couple of days ago I restarted my laptop and it came to a screen that said, "Invalid system disk..." However, there were absolutely no floppy <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/disks-769504" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DISKS">DISKS</a> or CD's in any drives. So I made a Windows 98 boot disk from my other computer and put it in my laptop and restarted my computer. <br/> <br/>Then, I transferred the system over to my hard drive. Once I did that, and restarted my computer it goes into the Windows 98 loading screen for about a second but then goes straight to DOS. I went into C:\WINDOWS and typed in "win" to try and run it but it says that "HIMEM.SYS" is missing. <br/> <br/>I looked through the Windows <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/directory-11615" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DIRECTORY">DIRECTORY</a> and there is a HIMEM.SYS file there so I thought that it may have just been a corrupt file. A copied a new HIMEM.SYS file from my boot disk onto C:\WINDOWS, overwriting the old file. Then when I restart my computer it still goes to the Windows 98 loading screen and goes back to DOS and when I type "win" in C:\WINDOWS it still says that the HIMEM.SYS file is still missing. <br/> <br/>Then I tried going into CONFIG.SYS on my computer to make sure that it said DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS and I am <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/pretty-2228622" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PRETTY">PRETTY</a> sure that it did but it said some stuff after that on the same line. <br/> <br/>It still says the HIMEM.SYS file is still missing and I no longer no what to do. Is there anyone that can <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/please-601513" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PLEASE">PLEASE</a> <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/help-239643" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HELP">HELP</a> me because I am getting really frustrated. All of the stuff that I did before, was I right in doing this? If not, please let me know so I can fix it. Thank you and any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.<a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~leetutor/FixWin/UpDown/invaldsk.htm">http://home.earthlink.net/~leetutor/FixWin/UpDown/invaldsk.htm</a><br/><br/>What is writen in your Autoexec.bat file?</p></body></html>
