    OK Please help me before this computer ends up in the road!!!!

    I wanted to reboot my system, I have the reboot floppy and the master cd. Intalled the floppy and cd then a message appears that it cannot find the cd drive, check connections etc. After scratching my head the penny dropped. When the system was under guarantee the cd drive was replaced because it was knackered. So now putting 2 and 2 together I gather that the floppy disk is not compatiable with this new cd drive and is not picking it up. Because of this I cannot continue with the reboot.
    Maybe there is another way or not.

    If anyone can help me I will be very grateful.

    Regards

    Steve

    Bootdisk's
    Get the one for 98. You can install Win95 using a 98 floppy to boot the system.

    I have the widows 95 floppy, but I think its not working because the cd drive has been changed and the original floppy isn`t picking it up.
    IF I got a windows 98 floppy to use, would this find the cd drive so that I can run the windows 95 master CD?

    Thanks for your responce.
