I was trying to upgrade to Windows 98 from 95, somehow,
while trying to delete windows 95 i only deleted the
win.com file. So I was stuck in MS-DOS and unable to get
back to Windows. I then formatted C: and now cannot access
the computer without a boot disk, so i tried downloading
from Bootdisk.com, it downloaded, i saved it onto disk,
put it into mycomputer, but it didn't work. I now have a
windows 98SE CD a windows 98SE boot disk, and a boot disk
from bootdisk.com. Nothing works! Someone out there must
know what i can do to resolve this, please help!!

Please note that the downloads at http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm
are programs that you download and double-click on a working
computer. They will not work if you simply copy them to a floppy.

make sure your boot sequence in the BIOS starts with "A:"

What do you mean that the boot disk'doesn't work'? What exactly are you
doing with the boot disk, what are you expecting to happen, and what
actually happens?
Have you tested the boot disk on another machine?

i am going to assume you formatted with win98 boot disk (if you didn't do so
now)-then start up computer with 98 floppy in the drive-
then when the A: prompt comes on type E:setup and push enter(make sure win98
cd-rom is in)
