Subject: Installing Win95 on new Hardrive |
Comment: I have a new 8.4 seagate hardrive. Using fdisk I made four partitions first primary dos at 2 gig and extended at 6 gig to include logical. I was able to load dos 6.22, but I can't load win 3.1 I get a error saying it can't copy a file have to exit setup. I can't load win95, after accepting the license agreement, it just hangs up (hour glass). If anyone out there knows what is going on, please help. I have been trying to get this hardrive set up for about two weeks now.

Reply: (edit)fidsk the master boot record with the command
fdisk /mbr
repartition the hdd with the primary partition set to active and then as many other partitions as you like
reformat all partitions and boot off of floppy with cdrom support and reinstall win 95
