Question Windows Cannot read C: Drive

In booting up my daughters PC last night I got the error Windows cannot read C drive. Not being a computer wizard, what should I do? It uses Windows 95 and is an older computer should I just Format and reload Windows? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Always a possibility that the hd is going bad. Are you able to boot with a bootdisk and access c drive? Also go into setup when you first turn the computer on and see if it acknowledges a c drive.
