Triac VMC Error- Bad or missing command interpreter

Post by bradders » Wed 11 Jul , 2007 12:20 pm

My Triac VMC, manufactured 1998 is giving the following error

When the machine is switched on the following error message appears

Bad or missing command interpreter
Enter correct name of command interpreter (e.g. c\command.com)

Any ideas ?

Sounds like either:

The boot floppy disk has become corrupt
The floppy disk has been taken out :shock:
The floppy disk settings in bios are wrong
The boot floppy drive has failed
The floppy disk cables have come loose etc....

Feed back from machine owner

The solution was to find the original floppy disc & tell the computer to look there for the required program. Previously this was not necessary so I now need to copy the file from the floppy onto the hard drive.
