This is worse than just deleting system files; you would normally be able 
to boot from a floppy and see the C: drive even without system files on C:. 
Was the hard disc compressed? If so, you'll have to make up a boot disc 
which loads the DoubleSpace drivers for the version of DOS you're using.

At this stage, don't try to do anything which would write to your hard 
drive or change the partitions; i.e., don't use FDISK or anything similar.
You must, somehow or other, make up a boot floppy which gives you access to 
your hard disc. (I'm assuming that you deleted system FILES, but didn't do 
anything that could have damaged the partition table).

If you have a backup of all your important data, you needn't worry too 
much, and setting up the disc from scratch may be your best bet.

Good luck,
