Default Windows Won't Start

I have win 98 SE and it just started not loading. All I
get is a cursor blinking in the upper left corner of the
screen. I can boot from a floppy OK and access the C;
drive and do directory listing. When I run scandisk I get
an error that a file name isn't correct for long file
names and I need to orun scandisk from within Windows.
When I try to start windows from c:\winidows by, even
using win /d:M or pressing F5 during startup sitll all I
get is the cursor blinking ini upper left corner of the
screen. I thought of just relaoding Windows but the disks
have been lost (Dell OEM version)

Anything I can try or look for?

TIA - JW
