Where do Dos hide in Win ME

[Creepin_D]

I want to flash my bios but can't because i can't find Dos in Win ME. Is it even offered?? If it is where can i find it?

MS tries to remove dos from ME so that it would boot faster and they claimed that it would operate more stably. However this would cause some problems for power users of course...

Try booting from win98 boot disk and run in command prompt.


Smart guys are not smart; they only see things in different perspective.

just saw your post, sorry. I have a little prog that says it will unhide dos in winme, make it like 98. I'll mail it for you.

If that prog works, great, if not, then create a WinME Emergency Boot Disk, this will give you a nice DOS prompt to flash your BIOS, that's what I had to do.

just use your boot disk , it'll get you there

Select the start button. Choose 'run' and type "command" then hit enter. this will bring up a DOS window and command prompt.

But flash new BIOS could't be done that way!
No EMM386 for sure, HIMEM should not present too(not very sure)

Listen to ed all the other post's are wacked!!! Sorry guys but he wants to update his bios not load an os. you do not want himem and em386 present when performing a bios flash. make your self a boot disk on a win 98 machine by putting in a blank floppy, clicking on the a drive, then check the "copy system files only" box. This will give you the dos prompt that you need to perform a bios flash

A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing!
