Look in your computer and see if you have either of these folders

c:\i386
or
c:\Windows\i386

If you do, skip to the bottom, if you don't read on.

Go grab your windows install CD, browse the CD and grab the i386 folder.

Copy the entire folder to your hard drive.



Open up a command prompt. (Start -> run -> cmd)

Type the following:

expand Path_To_i386_Folder\autoexec.nt_ autoexec.nt
expand Path_To_i386_Folder\command.co_ command.com
expand Path_To_i386_Folder\config.nt_ config.nt

Where Path_To_i386_Folder is either c:\i386 or c:\windows\i386 or wherever you copied the folder to.

lol, you just read my instructions a tad bit wrong

you should have replaced path_to_i386_folder with c:\windows\i386

type the following and you should be set to go.

Code:
expand c:\windows\i386\autoexec.nt_ c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt
expand c:\windows\i386\command.co_ c:\windows\system32\command.com
expand c:\windows\i386\config.nt_ c:\windows\system32\config.nt
*EDIT*

I guess I goofed a bit too. Type what's above and you're all set.
