I defragmented my hard drive and now Windows does not boot up. Several Messages come up.

Sector not found

These Files are Either missing or Corrupted
Windows/Himem.sys
windows/dblbuff.sys
windows/ifshlp.sys

can't find win.com, unable to continue loading windows

When I try certain things one of those messages will show up. If anyone can hel[p or has a remedy to this problem please let me know.

Your help is appreciated.

Sounds to me like someone possibly mixed up Win98 and Win95. I agree with saw. Time to format (or delete c:,c:\windows,c:\programfiles) and run Win98 SE setup.
