Hi, I have just purchased a laptop from a company that gets them in and deletes windows from thier PC's, the want $100 to install Win95, I have heard that you can copy files to the Laptop with DOS. I have a desktop PC and the Master Disk that came with it. Can n e one walk me thru the process of installing Win95 on it, or e-mail me? Thanks, ChavisC@olp.net

Do you have CD-ROM access in DOS? Yes? you need to copy the dos drivers for the CD to a boot disk for the version of win95 you plan to use. Boot disks are available with generic dos drivers for most CD rom drives but you have a lap top. Test the boot disk: turn on the computer with the disk in the floppy drive.you get"starting windows 95" A:\> type D: you get D:\> You have cd access. check the a and c drives. If you can't see the c: drive it means you want to install 95b (OSR2)and you need to run fdisk. But before you do that you need the serial no for drive c and make copies of all the drivers you don't have on floppies. Make copies of config.sys and autoexec.bat and any *.sys or *.drv or *.386 listed in these files. The laptops I have seen use dos drivers under win95. Check the display, suspend, pcmcia card adapter, setup program. An older windows 95 cd has a setup program (in win95 directory) that runs from dos. The "companon" cd has windows only setup programs,can't use. If you use Fdisk you can choose to not to use "large disk suport"(FAT32)you can covert to FAT32 later.
