Re: Windows 95 Boot Disk Contents

Hi,

You are required to have the CD to install. This is so Microsoft can keep out piracy.

If you have an Upgrade CD, do the following:

1. Download DOS 6.22 and write to a floppy, restart computer, put in.
2. Type format c: /s . note this will delete ALL data on your first HDD partition.
3. Say yes you are sure. type the label for the drive if any. Type DIR c: to see root of drive.
4. Wait for format then give drive a name. Reboot, remove disk.
5. Download W95B and write to floppy and reboot and insert again.
6. Insert CD. Type MSCDEX /D:BANANA /L:Z
7. When completed, type Z:\setup at prompt.
8. Install and enjoy.

For help, do not hesitate to reply to my message, anyone.

Tip: Virtual PC (VPC) is very slow and outdated and uses old drivers. Sun xVM VirtualBox can operate on way more OSes--host and guest. It's open source, which means it's free! Download now here.
