I have an old Win95 machine that got the Win98 upgrade in about 1999. I just got it back from my daughter. The file situation was a mess. I intend to this box strictly for recording WAV files from records and tapes so I can burn them to CD's. I've already had good success with this, so I know it's going to work. Two days ago I ran out of disk space, and since the registry was already a mess, in a moment of sheer brilliance I decided to format the HD and reinstall Win95, then upgrade it to 98 again. Well, I blew it! I formatted the HD from the Win98 boot floppy. Now, when I try to run the Windows 95 "Setup" program from the CD I get a prompt that says, "Setup.exe must be run from Windows". Windows is not on the HD anymore. I now have to boot the system from a 98 boot floppy. After it boots I do have access to the CD.
What can I do to get Windows back on the machine? THANKS!
