drive D: not reconized

[testa]

Hi!
I have an old 485 am running win95. I forgot my password so I pulled the cmos jumper so I could boot. At this point it would not boot so I restored with the restore disk.

I finally got it to boot. However, window 3.1 came on and there was no d: drive. even through I had upgarded to win95 before I pulled the jumper. So I re-installed win 95 now when win95 try's to start I get this error "Explorer caused an exception 6D007FH in module KERNEL32.DLL at 0137:BFF9A 07C"

It also appears that A: drive is reconized as both A: & B:
If it helps at all when I did the restore I notice that D: was showing as Y:. I look at the partition and it was only showing c: and it was F16.

Thanks for your help!

485? A typo, I think!

If there's no important data on the machine, I'd suggest repartioning and reformatting and starting again.

Can you do a dir of C: and or D: from the DOS command prompt after you've booted from a system floppy?

Maybe the CMOS defaults to a Plug and Play O/S. If there's a setting for this in the BIOS, disable it.

What does fdisk show as the partition information for the disk(s)?
