Now I "am" stumped. You DID say you had WINDOWS "95" on your computer before the accident, didn't you? NTFS is what Windows 2000 (or Windows "NT") uses, and that error message you got usually pops up when someone tries to install Windows 9x on an NTFS formatted hard drive.

You could certainly reformat (or create an additional empty FAT16 or FAT32 partition), but that wouldn't save any of your old data files -- it essentially makes a blank hard drive.

By any chance did somebody try to upgrade your Win95 to WIN2000 or WinXP?

(Scratching my head.)
