This is the way extract a file from the Windows cd if you have Windows 95 or aren't able to start up Windows anymore. With Windows 98, you can do this a lot faster using System File Checker. 1) Insert the Windows Startup Diskette and restart your computer;
2) Wait untill you see a menu and choose to procede with cd-rom support;
3) The DOS-prompt will be A:\>. Insert the Windows cd and type EXT;
4) You are asked from which directory you want to extract; type X:\WIN9x (replace x with 5 or 8, and X with the letter of your cd-drive, mostly E:\ and not D:\ because in this mode D:\ is the virtual RAM-drive; if you have more than one partition, the cd-letter is higher up the alfabet, according to the number of your partitions);
5) You are prompted to type the name of the file you want to extract. Type the exact name and extension, for instance explorer.exe
6) The file you want to extract to, is X:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM (X being the drive with your Windows folder, almost always C:\);
7) The information you have given will be displayed and you will be asked to confirm it;
8) After you have confirmed, the file will be traced on the cd. When found, you will be asked to overwrite it. Choose all (type a) and press 'enter'.
9) The file will be extracted and replaced. This will take a while, don't forget you're in DOS mode.
