Trying to install Windows 95. I want to format the C:\ drive, but after just 27% complete it gives error message of insufficient memory. I can't complete the installation of Win 95. Any ideas and/or solutions? I previously tried to install Win 95, but it wouldn't reboot without the bootup disk. So I tried to repeat the process in case I missed a step.

Memory shouldn't be a problem with formatting. Get another bootdisk. I think I a windows 98 bootdisk should work also. Boot from the floppy and format through there. Read this short tutorial on how to format. If there are still any questions, post back.
