Been trying to print a Text file using a XP Dos boot Floppy, as both of my
Win98se Boot disks had failed.

No you can't, it been disabled from the Boot Floppy along with No CD
Support..


ie d:\type file.exe > lpt1


Come up with a error message, but works ok with the Win98se boot floppy..

Mind you, you do need a Printer that works with DOS, like most HP printers
do.

Um, you said you couldn't do something that was unsupported using an
XP boot disk, which was a ah heck because both your 98se boot disks
were faulty.

Ron's reply of creating a new 98se boot disk seems the most logical
course of action to me, too.

Win98SE doesn't know abovt NTFS, it won't be able to access an NTFS

You've not heard of bootdisk.com, or starting 98 to the command prompt -> sys

And how do you dnload a File when the Computer Only run in Dos mode...?

Plus I do not use Ntfs file system and never ever said that I did..

Plus you can't make a DOS disk with CD options in DOS.

Think again before you post..

Why are you SO THICK , ? I have Win98se as a Dual boot Option, so I don't need
another DOS Type Disk, but at the time I only had a XP one that would boot,
plus at that time I could not boot into 98se..

But how does one dnload a File FROM DOS, so think again you have made a utter
fool of your self..

Go read what I posted as it seems you just can't read..

on behalf of the new zealand internet connected public, I apologise for
Roger. he's been with us for some time, and unfortunatly, we seem to be
stuck with him.

He has a fascination with insulting people, calling them little boys,
and telling them to play with playstations.

again, very sorry.

It is a boot floppy, not MS DOS on 1 floppy disc.

The boot floppy is there so people can create a boot disc to do bios updates
and perform boot time maintenance EG fdisk, format etc.

If you want MS DOS you have to buy a licensed version - remember it is about
6MB in size so will not fit on one floppy.

Have you tried typing PRINT FILE.EXE ?
This works in XP for the average printer.

Yep, just the usual problemo.

Woger posts a help question, then insults everyone who has tried to help
him. This has been going for years and years, which is why he's in the kill
file for some many people here.

But don't worry, he's due to change his nick soon to get around that -
something he's done over 100 times to date... sigh...

Maybe the sky IS a funny colour on his planet ??
