Try this. Boot your system using either Win95 or Win98 bootable disk. Then at the prompt, type
fdisk /mbr
Then, boot your system up this time with the first CD in the drive with the BIOS supporting CD-ROM.

Try dos fdisk to delete all partions including non dos partions ,and check your bios if configured to boot from CD first (which some how could be altered ?), good luck
