Welcome to TSF. If you know what files you deleted, you can boot the machine off of a floppy and replace the files from another machine using your CD. Otherwise, you'll need to reinstall Windows.

Unfortuantely the battery may be a lost cause. Replacing one of that age is nearly impossible and rebuilding it could be cost prohibitive.

Laboye's suggesting would be a good start.

Your best bet is here:

eBay would be good, but batteries that old aren't the best. Impact rebuilds theirs.
