Well, it's a long story, first I deleted the Windows95 folder, so I could install, Win98, but I forgot to backup some files, and now I need to format my ZipDrive so I can get some space, and after that I can format my HD. I really don't know where to put the patch you've gave up there! Help!

If you have deleted your C:\Windows Directory with Windows 9x you have also deleted your C:\Windows\Command\ Directory Unlike MS-DOS which stores its files in C:\DOS Windows 95 stores them as a sub directory! Download a Windows 95 Bootdisk from www.bootdisk.com and use Format file from floopy disk!
