Comment:

After turning my computer on, it gets to the point where WIN 95 used to start and then shows the message "this version of windows 95 requires DOS 8:0". Computer was working fine but just quit. I have tried to boot with boot disks but they cannot locate DOS. Most DOS commands work but I cannot find the DOS directory. Any ideas?
