    Where is StartF.cmd on this CD?

    I downloaded the FormatCD.iso file from Acer, burned it and ran it. When its done booting, it goes into a DOS screen and puts out the messages:
    "Execute 'StartF.CMD' to create your HDD", and
    "Execute 'StopF.cmd' to exit.
    But these files don't appear to be there.

    The PATH is "X:\Windows\System32; X:\Windows". I checked in a number of other folders without any luck.
    Does anyone know how to use this?

    I have no OS on the laptop.
