setting %WinDir%


Recommended Posts

i am missing %WinDir% environment variable. i have it defined properly in my msdos.sys file:

; MSDOS.SYS

[Paths]
WinDir=C:\WINDOWS
WinBootDir=C:\WINDOWS
HostWinBootDrv=C

[Options]
AutoScan=1
BootDelay=0
BootGUI=0
BootKeys=1
BootMulti=0
BootWarn=0
DBLSpace=0
DRVSpace=0
DisableLog=1
DoubleBuffer=1
LoadTop=1
Logo=1
SystemReg=0
WinVer=4.10.2222

when i type SET at the prompt, i get "winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS" but the windir variable does not show up. i used to be able to unzip a copy of windows to my C:\ and then boot an msdos floppy to start windows. the difference now is i use a dos bootcd with floppy emulation to start DOS. i don't have a floppy drive anymore.

help! how can i bring back %WinDir% ?
