Please could you reply in the thread if possible, that way other people can benefit
You have no windows directory, nor do you have an autoexec.bat or aything else for that matter.
Herbster63 is correct. You need to format and install.
Use a win98 startup floppy disk and choose the "load without cd-rom support" option.
once loaded, type
fdisk /mbr and hit enter.
Then type
fdisk -> you will be taken into a new screen containing partition options.
Follow the numbered options to delete the existing partition. Once the partition has been deleted, create a new partition in it's place. Then exit Fdisk. You will then need to reboot the computer.
Use the startup disk again as you reboot, and this time use the option for CD support. At the command prompt type
format c: to format your drive.
After this, you should have no problems installing windows by changing to your CD directory (remembering that the ramdrive is drive d: and so your cd drive is incremented by one letter) and running setup.exe
Alternatively, you may like to copy the cd contents to a folder on your C drive and run setup from there (it can be quicker depending on how quick your computer is).
Hope this helps.
