I am unsure just what your situation mioght be.

1. If you believe you computer has Win95 already installed on it, then
you should be able to start Windows without a boot disk. Since you
have used a boot disk, I am guessing that soemthing is wrong, but you
have not told us what is wrong. Why are you using a boot disk.

2. If you need to reinstall Windows, do you have a Windows CD-ROM? And
do you have the product ID for this CD-ROM?

3. Can you start Windows in Safe Mode? To get into Safe Mode, press F8
three or four times at one-second intervals just after you turn the
computer on. If you can start in Safe Mode, yopu may be able to repair
the system.
