I wanted to install Windows 98 as i was using Windows 95 before. a friend of mine who is good at computers told me not to uninstall and delete the Windows 95 instead. I was trying to delete windows folder when I was in Windows Explorer(how stupid I was) then I though t logically that how the hell can I delete windows95 while using windows, so I went to DOS to delete Windows folder which has all the windows files. So I gave the commnad to delete the windows, it asked me do you want to delete all the files (y,n) I enetered "Y" then it returned to command prompt again without any errors and i thought it has already deleted the windows. So to double check it I typed "DIt" and windows folder was still there. So the last option I had was to format the hard drive so thats what i did. Now after that I put the Windows 98 cd in cd-rom drive to install windows but it didn't start automatically. so at the command prompt i typed e:\ because my cd-rom drive was "E" drive when i had windows 95 because i have two hard drives 1st is "c" and 2nd is "D". Now when i try to type "E\" at the command prompt so that it will read Windows 98 cd and install it. but it says invalid drive. Then I tried to play around i changed the cables in computer in order to make my CD_ROM drive the "D" drive but that didn't work and now the problem is when i boot the computer I get an error message wihch says "Invalid system disk, replace the disk and press any key" but there is no disk in my "A" drive. HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!! I have the start up disk from Windows 95 and 98 but i cannot do any thing as I'm not bale t ogte rid of that Error "Invalid system disk, replace the system disk and prss enter" Even if I put the sart up disl in the floppy drive
and boot through "A" drive it still gives me the same error........HELP
and boot through "A" drive it still gives me the same error........HELP
