I had an error on my harddrive that scandisk could not fix so I formated it and reinstaled windows 95 and then i booted it up with windows 95 and it couldnot read the harddisk but now it wont even read the floppy drive to boot from a floppy disk. i dont know why I would like it to boot from floppy or the hardisk the bios settings are all correct all the connections are good. I formated it twice when it did want to boot up from the boot disk but it still had the error on the harddrive! I dont want to bring it in to a shop because they are expensive! Could you help me?

Than reveiw through the menues and make sure activations are cmpleted.

There you can assignn the computers boot settings.

Also check your internal connections once again.

ADVICE: Upgrade your computer from 95 to 98 or 2000.
