NO OPERATING SYSTEM FOUND
This problem statrted outof no where. The computer froze, then when rebooted
I got this message. I tried using my Windows startup floppy and do a SYS C--no help. Scandisk says no problems found. Also, I put in my Windows disk alone and it of course brings me to the windows install/setup screen and says there already is an OS on the computer and if i continue the config.sys and autoexec.bat files will be replaced. Should I do that? Will I lose everything on my hard drive? HELP!

This can be done without losing anything. Do it just like a new
instalation with your start up floppy and make sure it installs into the same folder and not Windows001 or something like that. I have done this 1 time to correct an Explorer problem 3mth ago and my install date still shows 10/3/02. Hope this helps. "bgosper" wrote: This problem statrted outof no where.

Greg,
I don't think the startup floppy has the installation files, isn''t that just for emergency reboots? Should I use the Windows 98 CD setup? "Greg" wrote: This can be done without losing anything.
