If you are trying to reinstall Windows, go to
http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm and create a
boot floppy. Use it to start the computer, insert your
Windows 95 CD, type "R:\win95\setup" and press
"Enter".

If the computer is stopping at the C:\> prompt then try entering the
following commands in sequence:

EXIT

if that doesn't work try

WIN

if that brings you back to the C:\> prompt try

WIN /WX

Note: if the WIN command gives you a "bad command or file name"
response then there is a major problem.

Post the results back here.

Good luck
