I crashed my computer and can't go back to windows 95. My computer is now on MS-DOS. How do i copy files from drive c to a floppy disk with my computer on DOS mode?

Please help me. I'm clueless. Thank you!

Well, you will lose all your long file names, but to copy a file from drive C to drive A in DOS is pretty straight forward. Lets say that the file is in C:\WINDOWS and it is called JOE.DOC - You would go to an A prompt (type A then the command would be:

COPY C:\WINDOWS\JOE.DOC

the result will be a message saying "1 file copied"
