Ed Fair & Wolluf, hi there my friends. Just thought I'd let you know that the problem has been sorted now. I posted on the Windows 95 board as well and a chappie called CZAstro came up with the answer. I needed to disable the virus checking in the machines CMOS, did this and setup just sailed...
Edfair, thanks for that, I'll try it. I don't think the CD is bootable though? Is there a way of making it so? My A: and D: drives can be booted from but the Win95 disk won't boot up the PC will it?
I haven't forgotten the help that Wolluf gave, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't even be reading...
Edfair, thanks for your help on this. I've got to go off-line now but I'll check in in the morning to see if you have any words of wisdom. Thanks again.
Edfair, thanks for your help on this. The setup.exe has details of :-
setup.exe 3,664 05-01-97 12:14p
in the top directory
In the d:\win95 directory it is
setup.exe 5,185 05-01-97 12:14p
I've tried using both the exe's to install.
I've run scandisk on the C: drive and this reported no errors.
When I run fdisk it gives me a series of options about creating/deleting partitions.
The information it gives is:
Partition: C:1
Status : A
Type : PRI DOS
Volume label: HARD-DISK
Mbytes: 2047
System: FAT16
Usage 84%
I'm afraid I...
I hope somebody out there can help me on this. I have a PC which has had it's C: drive formatted. I have a bootable win 95 floppy, with CD drivers on it, which I boot the machine with. This works fine, I then place the Win95 CD in the drive and type C:\setup from the A: drive. Setup runs...
Well guys, I used the boot up CD and it worked a treat. Things never go smoothly though do they? I formatted the c: drive, placed the Win 95 disk in the CD and ran setup. Every time it gets upto accepting the license agreement details, and when accepted, the PC gives a little blip noise and...
Thanks very much everyone. I've got a couple of boot disks now which, hopefully, will give me access to the CD drive. I'll be trying it tonight. Cheers.
Wolluf, That's exactly what I did. I just formatted a floppy with the system files (from when I could actually use Win 95). I've now downloaded 2 of the boot files from the site you gave me and I'll try those. Many thanks for your help on this.
Incidently, to re-install Win 95 do I need to...
If any one out there can help me on this I'd be grateful. I have a PC which was running Windows 95, and I tried to doublespace the disk. This had bad results and caused the PC tobehave erratically. So, I decided to re-install Win 95. I created a bootable floppy which I booted up from...
