i recently hooked my old comp (dell dimension L1000R) with windows me back up and when i go to start it seems like it is going to boot but stops at a black screen with a blinking - in the upper left corner....no clue even where to begin. i do have an emergency boot disc but couldnt find any options there just takes me to a help menu that doesnt really help me, and when i exit it goes to dos, but i cant change dir. to anything but a: any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
