Msdos.sys is built by SETUP during the install process. You could go to \Windows\Options\Install\ and run the Windows ME setup and re-install Windows. Or you could copy one from a system running Windows ME. Untill you can find a complete copy, use NOTEPAD edit your current C:\MSDOS.SYS file and cut and paste the following lines: [Paths] WinDir=C:\WINDOWS WinBootDir=C:\WINDOWS HostWinBootDrv=C [Options] BootMulti=1 BootGUI=1 AutoScan=1 WinVer=4.90.3000
