Wow... that's crazy amounts of old... I'd try looking for a Windows 95 disc on e-bay or contacting HP to see if they still offer discs for that computer.

I would suggest you chat with someone from HP, they can tell you if there is or not. and could maybe get one from them. But that's probably a stretch

Contact HP and if they dont' make disks for that old of computer, try eBay or Craig's list... Or just get a new computer... That would be less of an effort than going through the actions of buying something on eBay and auctioning and all that jazz.

If your mom needs the OS...you can download Win95 for FREE from the net...It officially became freeware about two years ago. Just be careful if you download it from the wrong place(s)...you'll end-up with lots of viruses. As for reformatting the HDD...you have two options. right click on the disk icon in "My Computer" and select Format, or access DOS and type "format C:" (less the quotes). To re-install the OS, follow the instructions that should be on the website, or, find the info in the google search below. Alternatively...take it to a reliable and knowledgeable tech...he can do what needs to be done to refurbish the computer properly...and ensure the OS works properly as well. Good Luck!
