Catching up...

Since you have a backup, just format the drive and restore.

With some work you should be able to get a bootable setup of diskettes
with Netbios support. InfoZip should be able to understand the WinZip
files, if you did your homework.

See my articles on remote installs for info on how to build the diskettes.
