Where am I? My Minecraft GPS tells me I'm in Minecraft.

EDIT: Problem solved.
Some helpful info:
-This is downloaded to a computer from a floppy disk.
-The fs.mkDir should make a directory called "DiamondTNT-OS"
-"/DiamondTNT-OS" exists on the disk
os.pullEvent=os.pullEventRaw
function fs.remove()
end
function fs.copy()
end
function fs.mkDir()
end
print("Download is starting.")
if fs.isDir("DiamondTNT-OS")~=false then
fs.mkDir("DiamondTNT-OS")
end
local programs= {"/DiamondTNT-OS/Login",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/Modifying",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/Password",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/Removing",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/Username",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/allow",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/startup",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/delete",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/deny",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/mainscreen",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/save1",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/save2",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/functions"
}
for i=1,13 do
fs.remove(programs[i])
fs.copy ("/disk"..programs[i],programs[i])
end
sleep(2)
print("Download is finished.")
sleep(2)
shell.run("/DiamondTNT-OS/startup")
shell.exit()

seems to me that the following program does not exist, is it being copied?
"/DiamondTNT-OS/startup"

yes it is
EDIT: It runs to the last print() command then it outputs "No such program". Can the shell.run() commands in "/DiamondTNT-OS/startup" produce the same error? The problem is that there is no indication of the line/program of the error.

no, it doesn't seem to copy the files in the directory "DiamondTNT-OS" to the computer

So the files are on the disk as "disk/DiamondTNT-OS/<file name>"
On a side note, change your loop to this, then all you need to do is add new program strings.
for i=1,#programs do
fs.remove(programs[i])
fs.copy ("/disk"..programs[i],programs[i])
end

that's nice, instead of having to count how many parts of the function there is. that's correct. here's an image to help. also, thx for the quick replies. gtg @ 10:00.

ok so its not actually copying the files from the disk to the computer, and thats why the startup file cannot be run, it can't find the program.
wow why didn't i see this earlier….
function fs.remove()
end
function fs.copy()
end
function fs.mkDir()
end
remove those

I will try that tomorrow(My friend shut off the server.). If it works, thx so much and I will definitely include you in the OS credits. I have been stuck on this for like 10 minutes before deciding to ask a pro like you.

Yeah, you overwrote some vital functions, which is a huge no-no.
(I've done stupid shit like this before, does anyone know if there's a way to revert this without starting over from scratch on a new computer?)

Not always, I overwrite base functions all the time, however they just add extra functionality and always revert once my program is over.
does anyone know if there's a way to revert this without starting over from scratch on a new computer?
reboot the computer and the globals will be loaded back in.

I changed "fs.mkDir" to "fs.makeDir" and received an error of "Download:21: attempt to call nil". this was the reason i tried to define the function fs.remove(). My new code:
os.pullEvent=os.pullEventRaw
print("Download is starting.")
if fs.isDir("DiamondTNT-OS")~=false then
fs.makeDir("DiamondTNT-OS")
end
local programs= {"/DiamondTNT-OS/Login",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/Modifying",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/Password",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/Removing",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/Username",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/allow",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/startup",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/delete",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/deny",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/mainscreen",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/save1",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/save2",
"/DiamondTNT-OS/functions"
}
for i=1,#programs do
fs.remove(programs[i])
fs.copy("/disk"..programs[i],programs[i])
end
sleep(2)
print("Download is finished.")
sleep(2)
shell.run("/DiamondTNT-OS/startup")
shell.exit()
