I am sure you know this but you should make an ER disk before you have problems cos you can also have a copy or the registary on the floppy incase that has also been corrupted.
To get round this find somebody with the same windows version and make an ER disk but dont include a copy of the registary, this should work so long as the registary is ok *fingers crossed*.
