Hard Disk Controllers

[Jacobjohnson]

Hello

I am having problems with my cdrom drive on my windows 95 computer. The cdrom drive works fine because I have used it in another windows 95 computer. I have tried to format the hard drive and wipe the system clean, but I get an error message saying "unable to create error.log" My hard disk controller has an exclamation point over the primary IDE. I am willing to do a reformat of the hard drive because I have retrieved all the files I need from the computer. I have tried to reinstall the hard disk controller and update the driver but no luck. I may have deleted a directory at a point in my earlier days none-knowledgeable computer days. Windows 95 will load and works. I just can't install or retrieve files from cdrom. I do have another computer running windows 95 that I can retrieve generic files from. How can I fix this problem?

the computer is and old Packard Bell multimedia C115
