those are minor: i tried those already, it's nothing to do w/ disks being inside the PC or floppy as well; this is something new that has come up to me, which i don't understand; BIOS sequence already changed before i posted it

*anyways thanks for your suggestion any others?

Use a boot floppy and try to do a Dir of C: , does it list the Window dirictory any other Directorys and files that should be there?
You may have to reenter bios setup and select to boot to floppy first.
Did you prior to problem deleat any files ?
