Hmmm... maybe you can just reinstall the OS?
Boot from a win98 CD and choose to install in the same
location - don't format the drive. Make that drive the
primary master, to be sure it will be the C: drive on
your system (you'll be able to use your old win95
drive as D:, but of course you can't boot from it)
Good luck - you'll need it! <grin>
