Please Help Me....
« on: January 30, 2005, 10:22:32 PM »
Today I restarted my computer and when it did the screen came up saying "Invalid system disk..." There was no disk in the drives so I made a boot disk and put it in.

Now I can get to a Command Prompt for A:\ and I can change to my hard drive C:\ and all of my stuff is still on my hard drive but Windows will not open, when I try to start it in Safe Mode the starting Windows 98 screen comes up for about a second and the it goes to a C:\ command prompt and right above that it says Microsft Windows 98 with copyright info and stuff. I try to start it in normal mode and in safe mode but it still goes to command prompt.

I need help to actually getting windows started. Please help, I'm desparate.

At the C: check if the Windows directory still exists.  If it does try going into it and running the executable.  I doubt this will work.
