Thanks Daniel danielno8, Nov 27, 2002 #1 Sponsor Jtoast Joined: Oct 3, 2002 Messages: 3,362 I assume This is the article from microsoft you were talking about? did you try extracting ALL the fonts per the article instead of just the one?

Have tried ?bootdisk.com? and ?allbootdisks.com? with and without Win98SE in CD-Rom drawer with no success. Bios settings have been A:>CD-Rom>C: and CD-Rom>A:>C: with no success. Boot disks mentioned no high memory file found, and will use low memory. Also while booting: ?Non system disk ? Replace the disk and press any key when ready." Also this error message while booting without the boot disk "device driver not found: CDI. No valid CD-Rom device drivers selected, run time error 200 at 0950:0091." All of this started after deleting the Windows font folder. Because neither the CDRom or floppy drives are accessible what do I do?Thanks, Di
