Unhook the ide cable to the cdrom and see if every thing else is ok and boots fine. If it does then you may need to get a new cdrom,(if this is new check and make sure the cable select jumper is not set, it should either be a slave or master). Let us know if unhooking the cdrom cures the problem, if not we will give more help.........

Find a friend or someone who has 98 on their computer, and make a bootdisk from that....then try and boot your computer, if you hold down the control button as it is booting to windows it will take you to the place where you can get to a prompt. I would imagine that there are some damaged files, load 95 line by line and you should be able to elimanate the problem maker. Hope this helps....

Well to boot from a floppy change your bios settings for boot order to start with the a: drive. This should at least let you know your hard drive is ok. then try loading windows 95 by going to c:\windows and typing in win.
Good luck

make sure the cables connecting the harddisk and the CD-ROM drive are connected properly to the IDE card. Also I recommend setting the hard drive as Primary Master and the CD-ROM as Secondary slave. this should solve the problem.
