I am unsure just what your situation mioght be.

1. If you believe you computer has Win95 already installed on it, then
you should be able to start Windows without a boot disk. Since you
have used a boot disk, I am guessing that soemthing is wrong, but you
have not told us what is wrong. Why are you using a boot disk.

2. If you need to reinstall Windows, do you have a Windows CD-ROM? And
do you have the product ID for this CD-ROM?

3. Can you start Windows in Safe Mode? To get into Safe Mode, press F8
three or four times at one-second intervals just after you turn the
computer on. If you can start in Safe Mode, yopu may be able to repair
the system.

first off...is the harddrive correctly recognized in the bios?
