can't find command.com on c drive

[farmerjon]

On my Gateway 386 33, when it boots up it can't find command.com on the c drive. I have to insert the floppy. Command.com IS on the c drive, it just can't find it. If I use a floppy with command.com on it, everthing works fine. Any help?

I think there are two solutions to this problem:
Locate the command.com file on your drive with the following command
dir c:\command.com/s
and then copy it to c:\
with the following command
copy c:\whateve\command.com c:\
or
edit c:\autoexec.bat
and place the directory where you found the file in a path statement like the following
path=c:\directry\command.com

I never say thingy.

Boot to an Operating system disk of the current version of DOS that you are running
This is a 386 33 so I am assuming that it is not running 95
If you need one go to www.bootdisk.com
Type
SYS C: & hit enter
It should say System Transfered
Reboot

Keep it simple!

put the disk with command.com in the disk drive. start the computer. in c:\ , type "copy a:\command.com" and press enter. reboot your computer
