If you have win 3.1 in zip files,how do you get them loaded onto a computer that don,t have an operating system installed?I,ve loaded win 95 from a c.d.,but have never installed from floppy disk.I need help,in detail.anyone! thanks in advance.

Unzip the files in other computer with alex511 or any unzip program. you can find alex511 at http://briefcase.yahoo.com/windowsforever or the aladdin expander web site. Then open the new folder (Now with all files unziped)Click edit, select all, click File and send to Floppy. Do this with all the zip files.

thanks,mamm.I can do that,but how do I run the setup on the computer with the floppys?do I copy them from A:\ to C:\ ,and then run setup?I need more info,please.

You have to format the HDD and then install DOS. Just insert first DOS floppy and type setup, after that, follow the on screen instructions. With DOS already installed insert the first win 3.1 floppy (Not the boot disk but Disk1) and type setup, follow the instructions and you are in business.

If you don't have any DOS disks you can download DR-DOS 7.03 and create 5 install disks; ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/drdos/DR-DOS.703/images/ You need 5 formatted 1.44 Meg floppy disks. Create a Temporary directory on your hard drive Download the 5 install disk images disk01.144 disk02.144 disk03.144 disk04.144 disk05.144 Download mkdskzip.exe Double click mkdskzip.exe or type mkdskzip.exe from the same temporary directory in DOS. A few files will be unzipped. Double click makedisk.exe Makedisk will give you instructions from there on. When you are done with all 5 disks, reboot your computer with disk 1 in the floppy drive. Exit from the installation program and from the A: prompt type FORMAT C: This will wipe everything off your hard drive and you can start with a fresh install. After the format is done reboot your computer with DISK 1 in the floppy drive and your DOS installation will begin and you will be prompted for disks. Here is the home page of DR DOS.org http://www.drdos.org/ DR DOS forum is here; http://senac.com/forums/4356/
