Boot from 98 bootdisk that's the same version as is on the computer (first or second edition). At the a:\> prompt type:

sys c:

and enter. When it's done, reboot. If it doesn't boot correctly you'll probably need to reinstall windows over the existing version.

Reboot, that is, without using the floppy disk.
