Windows 98 Start up
 

I have a PC that runs Windows 98. My son has deleted some files (he doesn't
know which ones) and consequently now when the PC starts up it has an error
message on screen "Invalid system disk - Replace the disk and then press any
key".

I've tried to reinstall Windows 98 but with no success. Would be grateful
for any advice as to how to resolve this.

Thanks - Ian

Do you have a disk in the floppy drive ??

Is Bios set to boot from the C drive ??

This DOS message says system code cannot be found
on whichever disk(s) BIOS has searched -- easily cured
by booting DOS from a floppy then
A\SYS C:
