Hi All.

I have learned so much from this list.  Thanks for all the clues.  I'm
sure I speak for many.  I lerk most of the time becuase of lack of
know-how but today I must ask.

I was doing a dos scandisk and the program found a bad block and marked
it.  I shut off the computer and restarted the computer.  I found that
it would not boot to windows 95b.  I rebooted and went to dos prompt and
can read the drive directory and seem to have most dos functions.  I
then went to step-by-step confermation on the windows start-up menu.  I
found that everything haults when I begin to process or load windows
drivers.  I have tried to load in safe mode also.  I get the same
error.  Error is "error reading c drive, abort, retry, ignore,fail".  If
I pick ignore it will continue to load but gives me another error " A
device file that is specified in system.ini file is damaged, it maybe
needed to run windows.  You may need to run the windows setup program
again.  On a line by itsself is reads "VSD"  Next line "press a key to
continue" If I press I get the same message again except the line by
itself reads "v86mmgr".  It ask me to press a key to continue but the
keyboard and control-alt-del don't work.  System lock-up.

I looked in the Bootlog.txt and things fail at trying to load these two
files.  I guess they are files?  I have other computers.  I can't find
these files.  What are they (VSD and v86mmgr)?  Can I replace them from
another system?
