Dig up your old Win95 boot floppy and use the FDisk command. Erase everything on the hard drive and start from scratch.

Dig up your old Win95 boot floppy

These days, you're lucky if a floppy disk lasts 6 months.

I'd be absolutely shocked if a floppy from the mid-1990's still worked.

Recently I went through some of my old floppies [many of them commercially released] from roughly the 1996-1998 timeframe, and none of them were readable.

If you want to make a bootable floppy nowadays, then you'd probably need to investigate something like FreeDOS.
