| Re: Boot help needed Start with a clean installation of the operating system. Starting with a FULL format of the hard drive. Once the hard drive is clean then install your OS of choice.Upgrading older versions of Microsoft operating systems don't upgrade very will from one to the another. So in my opinion I would NOT perform any upgrades of OS's at all. You have corrupted the win boot loader file when you attempted to upgrade to a newer version of win95. This is common with upgrading older Microsoft operating systems. Do the above and you'll be fine. |
