From inside Win 3.1, start the install process (setup) that should get you going, then when it asks you to make a floppy, put one in and make it! Then restart using the floppy. If the drive is a compressed drive, use "DRVSPACE" and then goto "Drive" menu and "delete" then type "Format c:" If it's not a compressed drive, Just type "Format C:" When it's done, put the Cd in the drive and type "D:\win95\setup" There ya go
Any other ?, Email me!
