The OS cd itself unless you don't have a cd drive. No disk needed.

You need to BOOT from your cd - not just use it in windows.  Put it in the drive - then cancel anything that pops up - shutdown your machine leaving the CD in and then restart - watch the screen for the command to press any key to boot from CD - follow the instructions and do a windows REPAIR/REINSTALL - this will replace the missing files.  If you don't get the prompt to boot from CD then you need to go to the bios and enable the CD drive as your primary boot device.

Making a boot disk isnt too hard. First you need the boot disk image (available at site below) then you need to burn the image to a cd using software like nero or CDRWIN. Here is a website that will help you further.

just reformat everything.  the windows o/s you have should boot automatically from your CD-ROM.  there are free utilities from majorgeeks.com to retrieve your lost data, even if you've reformatted the drive(s).  good luck, you're NOT an idiot.  everyone has had their computer woes.  how'd your Vista go?

i will assume you want to get rid of win98. If you have a win98 disk, put it into your cd drive and reboot. then boot from cd. when you get to the A:/ prompt, type fdisk hit enter. follow the prompts untill you get to the menu screen. delete the primary dos partition. be carefull you don't delete the non dos partition as that will remove xp. remove the win98cd and reboot. you should now have just win xp installed.....good luck

Get a windows boot disk, go to ftp://mrsison.com then go to tools and then click boot98se.exe\nAfter you download and open the file, download the contents to a floppy.  Then boot the computer with the floppy inside.  \n\nYou will now be at a dos prompt with cd rom support.

ok set the go into the bios and change the boot sequence back to default, should be your cd rom drive most likely. You will need to load your windows disc in the cd rom and re istall. If you have back up disks (floppy) then set the boot sequence to boot from floppy and when prompted put the disk in. Disk boot failure is because there isn't a bootable disk in the drive is my best guess but no telling ehat all you have changed by now. If the system will not let you back in pull the plug and restart it go into the bios and set it to default settings for the boot seq.

You need to use the windows cd to boot from it and then you have to choose boot from command prompt. In there you can use the command of format c:&#92;.

you can get bootdisk at www.bootdisk.com\nas for the rest, you might have it ( 98 ) allready on the computer in a reserve directory as some computer manufactuers save it on ther rather than giving you the disk
