How to install Windows 95?

Peter

For Windows 95 Original (on disks):

I used to know how to do it, but now I can't figure out how to get the files onto the disks. The disks don't have enough space and they crash when I try to make them bigger.

It would also be helpful if it could be installed from a CD?

Q

You mean, trying to get the CAB files onto floppies?

-Q

Peter

Yes.

My computer can only handle 1.44MB floppy disks. (fail)

Q

Did you try formatting them with WinImage so they are 2048 clusters?

-Q

Peter

It worked!

Is it possible to put Windows 95 (original)
on a CD now?

Q

No. I think that was tried by someone here before and it failed out. It's probably hardwired to goto the A:\ drive.

Huh? I did that once. It just looks in the same path as your setup file.

Q

Err...? Looks like KDog gave me bad info again.

all i did for my 95a cd is just dump the cabs and setup files on a cd, works for the most part. occasioanly asks for a cab but i just direct it to the d: and it contines.

There is a separate CD version of win95.

In one of the INFs (setupp?) is a list of the cabs and the disks. Change them all to disk 1.

dont each disk have a file called disk*? or is that NT that does that?

Zenithus

you're right bod, all evsions of dos from 5 i think have done that, best just to copy the disk files over and not bother changing the inf files.

Thank you! This should be useful.

nightice

Don't quote me on that. Look in all of them first.

Uh - I looked through the INF's with little success. What should I be looking for?
