Hi:

 

Unfortunately, the only way you are going to fix the problem will be to reinstall the operating system.

 

I had an old nc6400.  They came with Windows XP, and a few came with Vista.

 

You can run Windows 7 and Windows 10 on it too, but you will need a product key to reinstall any of the above operating systems and I have no idea where you will be able to find the Windows installation media for such an old notebook anymore unless your mother had upgraded the PC to W10 before you erased part of the disk.
