    Cannot get to my CD Drive when booting from a floppy

    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...

    Cannot get to my CD Drive when booting from a floppy

    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...

    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...

    Cannot get to my CD Drive when booting from a floppy

    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.

    Cannot get to my CD Drive when booting from a floppy

    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...

    Cannot get to my CD Drive when booting from a floppy

    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...
