Question [Answered] stuck in DOS
I restarted the computer by mistake in DOS. Using the WIN 98 restart in DOS

So I have no understanding of DOS.

I hit control alt delete

so I can not get out of DOS.

I tried opening up in safe mode and that worked so I tried to restart out of safe mode back in DOS

held down Ctrl again selected "normal" it is still in DOS

Hi Scott

Welcome to PC Help Forums

Try typing fdisk /mbr this should repair your master boot record, you probably will need your 98 disk.

Hi scott,

Welcome to PCHF.

Whilst in DOS, type in win

And Windows should start normally.
