Guys, it hasn't worked for me! I have a Win95 PC and a Win98 PC (I am writing from the 98!!) I had some problems, so I was trying to re-install Win95 to get rid of them, and it was not working. So I decided to re-install it from DOS instead. As an extra measure, I reformatted C DRIVE! Now, no matter what I stick into the PC, I get the old "invalid system disk" message. I tried the Win98 "dome" thing recently posted, but I guess you can't fool the PC if you can't get past your "invalid" disks. Even when there are no disks inserted anywhere, you still have an invalid disk. I guess the hard disk is invalid??? I have many times solved problems with this computer by re-loading Win95 from DOS. But this time, I can't even get to DOS. What can I try next??? Sandy in Dartmouth
