Well as I suggested earlier.

What you normally need on your boot disk is Format.com you could also put Fdisk.exe 
on there are well. When you format a drive it will tell you if there are any bad 
sectors on the drive.

Fdisk.exe will remove the current C: or split the drive into different partitions. 
It depends on how big your C: is. If you talking about Win95 then its an old system 
with a relatively small drive.

If you wanted to do a full scan before you installed 
Win95 then change to your CD drive and type CD Win95 (CD = change directory) this 
will change to the D:\Win95 directory then type Scandisk C:. After its done a FAT 
(FAT = File Allocation Table) scan you will be asked if you want to do a full scan, 
select yes.

Don't forget if you do a format and a fresh rebuild you will need all the necessary 
drivers e.g. Video card, Sound card, Printer etc
