Since my wife will be out of town until Mon, I decided to fool around with her computer and install win95 so I could play with it instead of using my system. Well all hell broke loose and I had to uninstall it. All of a sudden the computer would not boot into the C Drive. So being a nitwit, I reformated the C drive hoping this would do the trick. But it still will not boot up in C. I have to use a Emergency disk in the Adrive to boot up. Then after I get the dos prompt in A, I cd to C and do a check on the C drive using different utilities which shows the c drive is there and no errors on it. I used MSD, Norton, and PC Tools and they all show the C drive is there and formated to 450 megs and everything in order. However as soon as I take the emergency disk out of the A drive and power on I get the bios showing 32 megs of ram and then showing 1 fixed HD, 1 floppy drive, 1 Parrallel port, 1 serial port like it should, but then it stops the screen is blank with a little blinking cursor in the upper left of the screen. I have to ctl-alt-del and insert the emergency disk and then it works. Can anyone help me out before the wife gets home so I can get this system working again. All info would be appreciated. I. I will be monitoring the NG and Email very closely hoping some knowledgeable person can get me out of this fix. Thanks in advance. Don
