Well lets hope none of your Wife's critical data files are in the c drive that you
formatted. To reisnatll win 95 you need to do the following:

reformat your c: again using a boot disk. Preferable the one that came with win95.
If you have the 'cdrom bootup disk' that came with win 95b then you are in luck.
Just boot up with that disk, select your cdrom and get to a dos prompt. From a:
drive, type format c:/s, once that is done just reinstall win 95. and you should
be back in business.

If you don't have a cdrom set up disk, you still need to format c:/s from a boot
disk with systems files on it. And you will have to set up your cdrom manually by
loading drivers manually from autoexec.bat..Its a mess , if you don't have the
cdrom setup disk, I would suggest you call a tech or someone who know how to set
up a cdrom manually....
