Need help corrupt hard drive

[Tim Freed]

Hi all,
I am really in a bind.  I have been trying to install windows 98, I got everything to work for the most part, but when I tried to get the modem to hook up, it crashed.  I pawned it off to the AOL install, so I was going to re-format the C:, re-install windows 98, and start over.  That was fine until I gambled on doing the MSSETUP that was on the d:  I changed my mind (apparently a few seconds too late) when the files started doing some sort of copying....  it wouldn't stop so I just hard shut down.  When I tried to turn it back on it says C:windows\himen.sys was missing or corrupt, along with DBLBUFF.sys, and IFSHLP.sys.  It looks like the dos command prompt is OK, but it won't let me format, or delete the anything from windows to start over.  
Anything anyone can help with is MUCH appreciated!!
Thanks in advance, Tim

Tim,

If you have a startup disk then use this to access your PC and re-format your hard drive. Then begin the installation of Windows again.

If you do not have a startup disk try this site:-

I too have learned the hard way about forcing a cancel of something a little too late. Make sure you are entirely certain before doing an important system change again.

Thanks a bunch guys!!!
Booting up with the boot disk was enough to get me past the errors and reformat!!

You guys rule!
Thanks again,
Tim
