im not sure if anyone else has experienced this but it really makes me wonder.
i was deleting some files in ms-dos (ex: the index.dat file) in the cookies folder. well anyway, i restarted in windows (xp), and realized i forgot to delete a file. well when i restarted back into Dos it starts up at the A:\ prompt becuase im using a boot disk. When i tried to change to the C:\ directory, it changed for a second and then went right back to the A:\ directory. i decided to restart in ms-dos again, and yet i still had the same problem. anyone ever hear or this or know how to fix this b*llshit?

You might find better luck asking for Windows help on http://www.windowsbbs.com/

I dont think DOS can read NTFS partitions without some third party drivers or something.

look, what did you actually type? if you type "cd *:" where * is the name of the drive, it will not work. try typing just "*:" where * is the name of the drive to change to, and it should be fine.

and get linux as well, you'll save yerself a lot of hassle that way if you really want to eliminate the spyware...  ;)
