Windows 95 OSR 2 ISO is bad
Please have a look at removing the Windows 95 OSR4 ISO.https://winworldpc.com/product/windows-95/osr-2 I chose the 2nd link. I used Windows95B from All Boot Drives and got as far as past creating my volume label after Formatting C: I put the ISO contained in and did DIR and it said 0 files found. Now the RTM version of Windows 95 installs just fine but OSR version is the one with the sample music and sound schemes. Is there a REAL ISO I can get anywhere? A hard search reveals either out of date links or suspicious exe or virus type sites.
The instructions here 
look NOTHING like that when I use the Windows 95 B Boot Disk. I am not sure if it's Win World Archive corrupt or All Boot Disks website corrupt..

WinWorld also has Windows 9x boot disks. You can use the ones from 98 instead of 95, though they lack format.com so you'd have to go through X:\win95\oemsetup (replace X with the letter assigned to your CD-ROM drive)
I think the empty CD-ROM thing would only happen if it were to be formatted UDF as opposed to CDFS + Joliet, the latter being supported natively by Windows 95. I'd be shocked if a dump of the OS was made in a format incompatible with itself.
If OSR2 itself poses issues, you can use OSR2.1, which is the same thing but with USB support included (but not installed by default).
The OSR/2.0 ISO looks fine to me. You've made some mistake somewhere, but you have not provided enough information for anyone to help you.
BTW this ISO contains ISO+Joliet file systems, and appears to be a genuine CD dump.
