I need some help. I am trying to re-install windows on an old PC (used
to run win95).
The problem is i cant get it to boot to the DOS prompt or from a
floppy!!!!
When i turn it on i it starts to boot alright but then halts on the
message:
"EZ Drive Initializing"
"Hold the CTRL key to go to the status screen"
When i turn it on again while holding the CTRL key it takes me to some
screen with a message:
"Press C to boot from the hard drive or A to boot from floppy"
Pressing C has no effect at all when i press A i get the message"
"Insert system disk and press enter"
but nothing happens after i insert the disk and press enter the
computer just doesn't respond
and finally hangs when i keep pressing enter.
Is there something i can do about this or i do i just need to throw
this PC away?
Thanks
