Can you use your system disk to "start" win95?
Does command.com exist on your system disk?
Are you presented with any kind of prompt?

If there is no prompt, you might try creating a batch file that autoexecutes on system startup and copies command.com onto your laptop. To do this you would have to put command.com on a blank floppy disk along with the batch file.

If that won't work you could reinstall win95 and any patches.

Otherwise gameover ...

Follow these steps:
1.) Copy command.com onto a blank floppy disk.
2.) Open Notepad.exe and paste in the following code and name it autoexec.bat
NOTE: (Under Save As Type, be sure to select ALL FILES)
Quote:
:: Autoexec.bat
:: Copy command.com from a drive to c drive
@ECHO OFF
PATH=A:\

copy a:\command.com c:\windows\command\ /-y
if errorlevel 1 goto error
echo command.com copied and overwritten
goto end
:error
echo copy failed
:end
3.) Put autoexec.bat on the floppy along with command.com
4.) Put the floppy in the laptop floopy drive and start it up.

-----NOTES-----
This may not work because command.com is what is needed to access a batch file, but it is worth a try.

If it doesn't work, gameover...

- lol.

Logically, it seems like the autoexec.bat would not work if command.com was corrupted because command.com AKA DOS, is what the batch file needs to run.
