So my little sister wants a laptop and I found an old one in the basement I figured I could fix for her so she can mess around with it.

However, when I turn it on it gives me this message:

Error
This Problem requires Phoenixmiser to disable save to disk. Correcting this problem (running PHdisk if necessary) or disabling this feature in setup will prevent this message from re-occuring.

Then the Windows 95 screen comes up, it quits booting to windows and just brings me back to DOS.

Anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks

It would be nice to know who made the laptop. It's too old though.
You should reformat and install a linux distro or something on it instead.

Could just reinstall windows 95 on it. You can get a copy of it off ebay for about $5.
