Put it back and setup.

I created it when I was refurbishing numerous old laptops which all had win95 on them originally but needed reinstalling. It available from: http://www.babelscribe.com/tools/win95_install.htm I hope that helps. mouli On Wednesday, March 21, 2007 at 10:40 pm, Jerry wrote: >Hi Nick: > >This is absolutely my favorite WIndows 95 topic: >Installing Win95 on computers without a CD player. >Instructions are here: > >http://ballz.ababa.net/jerry/tips/install_without_cdrom.htm > >Have fun! > >Jerry [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Converting Windows 95 to floppy format Saturday, May 12, 2007 at 9:20 am Posted by Kiwi (2111 messages posted) Even the most basic Win95 install, on 13 "2 MB" floppies took the best part of forever to install. I once had to run twenty installs with one set of floppies for a computer class. What a disaster! I swore I'd never do it from floppies again. But for less than $10, you can get an adapter to remove the laptop Hdd and connect it as Slave to a desktop PC. Copy the \Win95 folder's contents from the CD to a folder on the laptop Hdd, and use the "System" command to put a DOS 7 boot on there, and you can run the install from that folder. .
