I was given a new-to-me, but still ancient box ( Pentium 166 ) with Win95 on it. At the time, windows was booting fine. I put in a new HD (and moved the old disk to hdc) and installed Debian -- after playing around with other distros (my old DX486 has never had any other distro on it).
Somewhere along the line, Win 95 stopped booting. All of the files are there (io.sys, msdos.sys, windows and windows\system directories, etc.) it just wont boot. Since I don't use anything but linux, now, I never did anything about it. But now I am going back to school (for a C.S. degree) and will need to use M$ software and languages. Since I am a stay-at-home dad with a 9 month old georgeous baby girl I would rather do my work at home instead of in an on-campus computer lab. This means that I will need to run Windows. I don't have a boot disk (and my bios wont boot from CDROM). I have tried to get lilo to boot windows, but without any luck. I imagine that the partition boot sector has gotten trashed. Does anyone know of a way that I can get Windows to boot,again? Any help will be appreciated. -- Marc Shapiro "If you drink melomel every day, [EMAIL PROTECTED] you will live to be 150 years old, Please visit "The Meadery" at: unless your wife shoots you." http://www.bigfoot.com/~m_shapiro/ -- Dr. Ferenc Androczi, winemaker, Little Hungary Farm Winery
