I did a dumb thing, which is kind of typical for this guy, but was working on my brother-in-laws Win 95 computer as it wouldn't boot into windows, I rebooted with my windows 95 startup disk. Now when I go into FDISK it shows the hard drive for my computer. His is listed as the space available, but his primary partion is incorrect.
Here's the problem:
I can't delete it.
It staes that I must write in the correct name and it is typed in as some kind of weird Greek! I don't have the keyboard to make the same font.
Am I doomed?

His c: drive removes the floppy and reboot. Any 95-boot disk should work
