Well what you have on your hands is probably a windows boot disk which enables you to reinstall windows. How do you use a booting disk to access a computer in order to reach the files that do that kind of repair? Is there ANY repair possible without having to take this machine to the shop? Is there a way to reach drive C: and access the computer and "repair" Windows? I don't think she has a recover setup that we could access. She's a heart patient and a retiree, her job is important to her and I would like to help her if I could, but do not know how to access the system and get it to react. I don't know how to recover Windows and don't want to reinstall it because she would lose her work in the machine. It takes me to drive A: and just sits there and the cursor blinks and nothing happens. I searched high and low until I found the Win 95 bootable disk that was made when Windows 95 was installed in her machine. The computer started asking for a booting disk. We hit a key we thought would take us out of there (having removed the floppy) and expected to go to Windows. On Friday, when she went to work, there was a floppy in the floppy drive and the computer wouldn't complete the booting sequence, instead of warning so that the floppy would be removed, it gave a screen we had never seen. My mom works at home and she types in an older computer which uses Windows 95 (which is okay for what she does, when she delivers copy).
