To replace the real-mode operating system files on drive C

1. Boot the computer using the Windows 95 startup disk.

2. At the command prompt:

Type SYS C: to copy IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS,
DRVSPACE.BIN, and COMMAND.COM
to the hard drive C. This will rewrite the boot sector.

3. Remove the floppy disk, and restart the computer.
