Am trying to help a friend with their UMAX laptop, model 312T, System Soft, Mobile Pro ver 1.01. Bios is 1.01. They lost the boot disk so I downloaded programs for a Win95 and Win 98 to make a floppy boot disk. However, I can only get to the a: prompt drive and don't know how to tell it to install the program from the floppy. Keep getting the FOLLOWING error messages:

invalid drive specification
invalid directory
this program cannot be run in DOS mode
bad command or file name

How do I get past these error messages so I can get the computer to boot from the floppy?Update to the question REGARDING the UMAX laptop. Found out that it has Millienium installed but still can't get past the a: prompt. Downloaded an ME boot disk program so the computer would start up, but don't know the DOS COMMANDS to tell it to load the program. Can't even get to the c: prompt either. Can only see a: and b: prompts. Is it even WORTH trying to fix? I know it's an old laptop but thought it would be challenging in trying to get it going.What exactly are you trying to do? Reinstall Windows?
