if your running win98
you can boot to dos and try re-installing windows..
To access your CD drive you un-commit out
rem - By Windows Setup - C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:10
what you want is
C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:10
Then reboot to dos and install windows from DOS
put your windows cd in, find what drive letter it is and from C:
type in d

or what ever drive it is) install
