Ok my old computer its quite old 3.2 Gig Hard Drive with 64 MB Ram with windows 95 well umm i formatter my disc but before that i ran a program that deletes things as permanent as u can but well i kinda erased every single thing in my WINDOWS folder and well every single thing in my C:\ drive. then i re-formatted my Hard Drive and i didn't make a back up disk. i then tried to download a boot up disk but when i put it in it said "remove disk and all other media" and so far the only thing i have been able to get into it the BIOS does anyone know of anything i can do to get past all this and install an OS back in and everything? thanks

Well....win me and win2k can both boot from cd, but they have very little legacy support. Your best bet would be to use a friends computer to make a boot disk and use it to boot up the install program. Win98 would be a better choice than 95, assuming you can find drivers. If you go to the add/remove programs dialog in the control panel and use the lower tab you can make a boot disk. You will, of course, need a copy of the os and a formatted floppy.

did u changed the boot sequence in your bios? you'll need to tell it to check the floppy first for a boot disk. and im assuming your harddisk is fat system.
