MS-DOS Messages
The
MS-DOS
operating system may display a warning or error message if it encounters a problem with a
command in the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file, or a command that you entered at the DOS prompt.
Following are a few of the most common MS-DOS messages.

A command was entered that is spelled incorrectly or does not exist on the computer.

The media may not be formatted. Press a to abort, then format the card using the MS-DOS Format command, or
from Windows using the Format Disk command.

This can occur if media is in the card socket and you restart the computer. Remove the media, and then press any
key.
