I will give up a western digital 1.6 gig hdd for someone to put on windows 95 onto floppy for me. I hope you can understand that I will not ship out the hdd untill I have sucsessfully installed the floppys onto my wife laptop. I have downloaded, and tried boot disks, and everything I can think of to get 95 onto the laptop and nothing has worked. I downloaded the 13 from massed.com did what the site said to do and it did not install. I will need the boot disk to be able to run it through dos and not windows like the one from massed that requires to be installed through win 3.1.
So anyway if you wouldnt mind taking the time and putting it on floppy for me I will mail the hdd to you upon instalation. Email me at funboy42@msn.com for a quicker response.

No need to give anything for Win95, as it is "software" and a hdd is "hardware". "Software" could be downloaded provided you have the time to look for it. One version of Windows 95("Windows 95A") is on Finguz's site at: www.finguzfury.net, and is the exact one I used when I installed Windows 95 on my laptop. If it is still downloadable, everything will be fine. However, if it's not, e-mail me, and I will try to upload my copy into a site for you to download. Hurry, for my fast cable connection will be coming to a end pretty soon.

G'day Jason
If you already own Win 95 CD, go here to see how you can make your own set of floppies from your CD files.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robert.bale/index1.html
and then choose Windows 95/98 Backup Set

OR, if you have a parallel port ZIP drive, you can copy the Win 95 folder from the CD to a zip disk - then install the zip drive onto the laptop using DOS drivers - and then run setup straight from the zip disk.
You will need a Win 95 boot floppy that you can also download from www.bootdisk.com

Another option is to use a laplink program and a parallel cable connection between a desktop and the laptop, and copy the Win 95 folder from the CD on to the laptop's newly formatted hard drive and install from there.

All the above are dependent on you already having a Win 95 CD.

Jason, could you tell me where exactly you downloaded the 13 disks? They may not work, but the first version of Windows 95 has 13 disks, and I have been looking all over for them. I'll gladly try to fix them.

Hi

I have a laptop with win95 directory. when I run setup it asks me for the Product id. Since I bought the laptop used, I don't have the product Id available. Is there a way I can find out what the id is from the files that are on the hard drive. It seems a shame to have to download all of those disks if I have all of them on the hard drive already. Any help you can give me will be appreciated.

Thanks

gene
