Hi everyone,
could anyone figure out how to solve the following problem?
At some point I ran out of memory and my pc crashed. After I deleted I few
files and re installed windows95, the pc won't boot properly.
I am receiving the message " Type the name of the command Interpreter (eg,
C:\windows\command.com).
Even after i copied the command.com file from the A drive to the C drive.
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like the MBR got screwed up. Boot to a floppy, then type:

sys c:

This will transfer the system files to the boot sector of the hard dirve and make it bootable. Make sure your using the same version of Windows to boot to as the OS that is installed on the hard drive. Hope this helps.
