Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. I was given an old laptop AcerNote 735 with a 486SX processer at 33Mhz, running windows 3.11. I wanted to wipe the drive and install windows 95. What I did was fdisk the drive and deleted all partitions and rebooted. When the laptop reboots it gives me the following message "PhoenixMiser Partition doesn't exist theis will disable the suspend to disk feature". I ignored this and fdisked and created one partition and rebooted again. Same message appeared. I now can't format the c: drive. I have the windows 3.11 floppies and tried to install 3.11 back in but get the error of no command.com. What am I doing worng here. Any help.

In your zeal to clean out the drive yougot rid of a partition that contained system information...it was probably a hidden partiton. In you pile of floppies for this machine do you have a system restore (or something similar) disk? That should clear up the "suspend to disk error", there may also be a BIOS setting to disable that feature completely...


As for Windows 3.x , you need to install DOS before you install Windows...hence the missing command.com error...
