Re: Now answering computer related questions.
Oh and hemply my DOS isnt great mainly because It was a little before my time. You can make a DOS boot disc in Windows by inserting a floppy and right click Format it is pretty straight forward from there. Also if that doesnt work you could try a program like freeDOS I have never used it but it might work.

Re: Now answering computer related questions.
How old are we talking. I use linux on some very old laptops and it runs great. The other thing you could do is reinstall the old operating system that is on it currently. Things to do with an old computer « Motho ke motho ka botho I have seen longer and better lists so if you dont find something in that list GOOGLE it.
P.S. I am going to sleep soon so ask away all night long and i will answer all of your questions in the morning

Re: Now answering computer related questions.
It was decades ahead of its time and I was real upset when IBM withdrew support for it. It was a true multitasking graphical OS that ran rings around Windows, Linux wasn't even viable back then. Great OS.

Re: Now answering computer related questions.
I have a question.......After trying Linux why go back to windoze?
Here's the answer: Only for recording since the open source community isn't quite there yet...... I know I've tried.....I use Linux for almost everything but I've had miserable luck with audio recording so I have to dual boot and jump over to Windoze XP pro for my recording needs....it sucks....maybe 64Studio will get it's act together soon and work properly...... Another Question Tux fan....which Distro do you use...I've been loyal to ubuntu for about 3 years now....
