Thinkpad 380ED

Hello group! I am so happy to have found a place that might help me. I have been working on this thing for a week to no avail. Here is the problem: I have a IBM Laptop 380ED with Windows 95, 1999. It's old I know! Someone gave it to my son and his wife. All it has with it is one floppy disk that has written on it...166 system Disk. The problem is that I can't get past the black screen and the A: prompt. I can also get to the easy setup menu and I ran test on everything listed there. It all came back OK. When the A: prompt comes up there is also a message beside it. It reads: A:\>C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE \D:MIMIDEO1 /M:10, and under that it says invalid drive specification. I also ran a scandisk on it and it came back no problems. Thank you!
