Formatted hard drive

Question

I have a dimension xps d266 I recently formatted my hard drive simply to remove all the crud from 5 years of use. I originally had windows 95 and upgraded to win98. I thought
I had a startup disk but I don't I am also missing my win98 upgrade disk. I do have my original win95 disk but my computer doesn't recognize my cd drive. Is there any help without a startup disk?

C: won't show because nothing is there yet.  For the CD, try E: also.
