Sep 16, 2009 Rating Running a DOS program by: Support Hello Robin, If you can see the files on the drive then the drive is working and you do not need to do anything more to the drive. How ever running a DOS program on the newer Operating Systems (OS) may or may not work. What OS are you using? Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Windows 7 you would either write a .pif file for the commands to start the program or go to Start/Run and type in cmd. When the 'DOS Box' or CMD window opens then you will have to go to the IDE drive, then to the direcory to run the program. Say the drive letter for the IDE drive is E: At the cmd prompt which will be C: type D: and press enter. On the D: drive if you know the directory that the program is in you would type at the D: prompt - D:\cd\directory Where directory is the actual name of the directory containing the program you want to run. The when you are in the directory like this - D:\mail\ You would type in the name of the program, such as this - D:\mail\mail.exe If the program will run then you will see it, if not there maybe other paramaters you need to have before the program runs. Hope this helps...
