I kinda know what I did wrong, but I don't know how to fix it. I opened win amp and was searching for music when I happened upon some winamp icons in my win/sys folder, one was a song and 3-4 files were said to be invalid, so I deleted them(Don't remember names) now when I try to start MS_DOS from start/programs, or restart in MS-Dos I get an error message that says... C:windows\start menu\programs\ms-dos prompt.pif A device attached to the system is not functioning. then I press ok and another box comes up like this... The object that C:windows\start menu\programs\ms-dos prompt.pif refers to has been removed or is unaccessible. I tried Start\run SFC but that did not work. Pleas help ty

I tried the start\run command but it did not work either, I need the sys files that I deleted, but I have misplaced my win 98 cd, and the files that I know of are not in options cabs.
