Hi everyone!

I've recently rediscovered my old 286 games machine and was looking forward to having a bit of fun with it but I get the error: "insert system boot disk".
I don't have a boot disk for it but is there any way I can make one?
I do know it was CUSTOMISED, but I don't know the specifics.
From memory it would load to a menu/button sort of system divided into categories, but i also had some version of windows.

I know it's an antique but I FIGURE I may as well GIVE it a shot
Thanks,
InnleIf it has Windows, and a proper Hard Disk Drive, and its presenting the "Insert Boot Disk" message, your hard drive has probably crashed. (Like mine did I miss that 4MHz machine)

Boot disks are available at:
www.bootdisk.com
(Try the DOS Boot Disk version 6.22)
Once you get the boot disk in, try the following commands:
Code: [Select]C:\
cd C:\
dir
Code: [Select]D:\
cd D:\
dir


Tell us what those commands end up showing

Thanks for replying Zylstra.
I put the disk in and tried the commands you suggested but all I could get was "invalid drive specification"
But When I rebooted it for a SECOND try, just to be sure, it loaded up perfectly and just as I remember!
Thankyou for helping me fix the old gal!
