I have an NEC laptop that has its drives mixed up. The hdd is A, while the fdd is C. A friend tried installing a CD writer onto it, and now we cannot boot to Windows 95 at all, it simply comes up with a blank screen. We tried a boot disk, but when we start the computer with the floppy in the drive, the computer just hangs after the memory check. Any ideas please?
