boot scripts

[IanB]

When you've loaded an OS successfully after one or two botched attempts, how can you erase the error messages that remain on the boot-up script and which irritate and embarrass half-competent types like myself?

Thanks for any help -

Identify where the source of the error is.
It's likely you have a bad statement in Config.sys or Autoexec.bat, you can directly edit them to correct bad statements, just type 'SYSEDIT' from the run line and they will pop up in a window.

If the error is from IO.SYS or from MSDOS.SYS, then you can try the TWEAKUI utility to correct this. You install the utility by finding TweakUI.INF on the Windows CD-Rom and right clicking the file and selecting 'INSTALL'. You access the utility from the TweakUI icon in the systems control panel.
