I just got a used computer from my employer for my kids.
Before they gave them away they completely emptied the
hard drive. When I put in my windows 95 cd to load it,
it tells me Invalid System Disk, replace the disk and
press any key. How do I get this thing to work?????

Use one of the utilities at www.bootdisk.com to create a Windows
95 boot floppy. Boot with the floppy and type r:\setup.

When it shows "invalid system disk" just reformat your
hard drive with your startup disks. If you don't have call
your friends.
