Thanks for the leads. I will check into this later today. I have booted with
a Win95 Floppy install disk, but when I type in C:\ and hit enter, I get an
Invalid Drive message.

Can you set the bios to boot from cd? Do you have a floppy drive 
on the machine? Memtest+ 86 is bootable.

I've never run it from a cd, but I have from a floppy.

You could also try one of the Linux live boot cds and see if you 
can run that. No need to install anything, it will run in a ram 
disc and might provide some useful diagnostic info if it can't 
run because of a hardware problem
