system ini file missing

[texaswritergirl]

Hi all!  I'm hoping someone can help me.  Recently, my youngest erased the system ini file off my Windows ME computer.  I can't get past the start-up, my floppy drive is fired, so there's no boot disk. 

Do any of you tech-savvy souls know how I can fix this, short of using a hammer?

I have another computer which runs on Vista, but there's important files on the other unit, and I was going to give it to my kids.  I appreciate any ideas/advice you may have.

WinME has no MS-DOS, so how will that work?

try the Windows ME OEM bootdisk.


EDIT:

oh woops, didn't see the fried drive thing.
how do you know its "fried"?

WinME has no MS-DOS, so how will that work?

WinME is still based on DOS; there is simply no easy way to get into it. (that is, MS basically just removed the boot into DOS mode and Shift-F5 during boot up features).
