Umm, I don't think your machine is seeing a formatted place on a fixed disk to call "c" drive.
If you installed a startup disk and told the machine to "format c:", you should have recieved the "warning, all data on c: will be lost, blah , blah".
When you start the machine, and before it boots, you should see a display of the master and slave drives the computer reckognises.
Start the 'puter and press, depending on the bios manufacturer, "del" before the boot process starts. This will enable you to see what the bios sees as far as available components. Your drives should be listed under the first option, basic bios stuff. You know, set the clock, set the drives. Also, after you check the drives, goto the next option (below the first). Many times the boot sequence is stored there. Try booting from the cd and just reinstall the whole darn thing from the original OS disk.
But, you still need to make sure your bios knows there is a valid drive there. Maybe she didn't do anything wrong. Maybe the ol' win 95 hard drive quit after all these years.
