I am probably being thisk, but I have no idea how to use dos mode!!
I have a toshiba dvd rom, which I wish to flash to rpc1 firmware - this uses VUP.exe flasher, which needs to run in DOS mode - on a W2K laptop
I have created a dos bootable disk (DOS 5.0)on my A drive (floppy), which opens up the A:\> black screen, but have no idea how to do the next stage.
The VUP.exe and X021.hex files are on both the floppy disk, and in a folder on my C drive - but I can't work out how to access applications on the C drive.
The flashing help file makes it sound so easy...
Anyone feel like walking me through the procedure!
Cheers, Ali
I have listed the help file below for info.
