Re: Saving To A Diskette, and Start

You should probably download the self-extracting image instead of the .img if you plan to use the boot disk on a real computer.

Disk A only contains the very basics of Windows 9X: essentially, DOS. You can install it to the hard drive if you really want to:


copy a:\*.* c:\*.*
sys c:


however, this only installs a command prompt, like what was on the boot disk. There will be a brief Windows splash screen and then nothing other than "C:\>" on the screen.

Instead, I would only use the boot disk to install Windows on a system that doesn't boot from the CD-ROM drive, like a lot of really old computers. Boot the floppy, insert the CD, and run the installer from the command prompt.

So to answer your question: No, this will not automatically install Windows 95. You have to copy the files yourself, set up the drive yourself, copy the boot sector yourself, etc.
