I recently formatted my laptop (100 mhz, win95, 800 mb HD) thinking that i could easily boot from cd as i do usually when i wipe a computer clean and reinstall the OS. Wrong. since i have an external cd rom drive, i lost the drivers for it in the format. I got the win95 installation on floppy from a friend, but when i try to boot to this i get "BOOT: couldn't find NTLDR, insert another disk" and i have to restart the computer. I tried installing the drivers for the cd rom to no avail and i have no boot disk, tho i tried some ultimate boot disk thing online that didnt work. there's gotta be a way!!
