Here are the steps to get you through this: FDISK/FORMATTING: What You need: Windows 95 CD Windows-95 CDROM Setup Boot Disk, or any bootable floppy disk which contains the correct DOS CD-ROM drivers. Setup Process Power Up Insert your Windows-95 CD-ROM setup boot disk into the a: drive. Insert your Windows-95 CD-ROM disk into the CD-ROM drive. Now, depending on how far you want the installation to go, choose one of the following ways to do this. Cleaning the HDD completely: At the A:\> prompt type FDISK and press enter. If prompted to enable large disk support press Y for yes (If a Win98 system using FAT32) or N for no if it’s Win95 and press enter. If HDD is partitioned: Press 3 to select option 3) DELETE PARTITION OR LOGICAL DOS DRIVE and press enter. This removes the secondary Partition(s) If HDD is not partitioned (or after the above is complete): Press 1 to select option 1) DELETE PRIMARY DOS PARTITION and press enter. When asked which partition needs to be deleted, choose the partition number that is highlighted under PARTITION at the upper left hand corner of the screen which normally should be 1 and press enter. When asked to enter the VOLUME LABEL, type what is located under VOLUME LABEL at the top-middle of the screen ( if any ) and press enter. When asked ARE YOU SURE [Y/N], Press Y and then enter. Press esc to return to fdisk option. Press esc to exit fdisk. Reboot the system. 2. Straightforward Format & Reinstall (This needs done whether you Fdisk or not- ensures clean install) When you get to the Microsoft Windows 95 Startup Menu, select Command prompt with CD-ROM drive loaded and press enter. When you reach the C:\> prompt, type FORMAT C: and press enter. When prompted if you are sure press Y then enter. When the format is completed, type D: and press enter. If you have more than one hard drive in your system or your hard drive is partitioned into multiple partitions your CD-ROM drive letter may be different. If you know what the last hard drive letter assigned in your system is the CD-ROM drive letter should be the next available drive letter. Type SETUP.exe and press enter . Follow the directions as prompted by Windows 95 setup. Almost all choices will be the default selection. Windows Setup will basically do the rest for you.
