Been trying to fix this computer up to give kids next door. Now run fdisk-formatted and put win95 on it. Running in compatibity mode. In control panel/systems have the yellow ! Mark next to standard IED/ESDL hard drive controler. This is listed twice. No ! by standard dual pci ide hard drive controler. Try to reinstall drivers but hard drive not listed. So did goggle search for UM8886BF,# on motherboard. Click on link it takes me to driver guide.com. See diver I need for above download it and then extract to floppy. (Is that the way to do It?) Now try to reinstall but It tells me drivers It needs is not on floppy. What did I do wrong or just what should I do? Thank you all.

Some driver for floppy you need to run the .exe on the floppy so it extracts files to floppy.

Some other driver needs to be run on HDD so it creates floppy. Some driver comes in .zip so must be extracted to floppy.

Usually driver you see .inf file on floppy and a few other files maybe like .bin.

Read instructions again. Maybe look at:

You probably need to install the 95 motherboard/chipset drivers. They should be available on the motherboard or system manufacturer's site.
