I formatted the harddive on my laptop and attempted to reinstall W95. Upon reboot, it asks for a boot disk. Once insterted, it tells me to "insert boot disk". I have tried various other online boot disk, with no luck. I can't get to the C: promot to change things either. I'm stuck. Any helpful advise? Thanks Andrew

Is this the part of the install where it's asking you if you want to make a boot disk? If so, you should be able to hit cancel and let it chug on. Hopefully that's it. Then you can deal with why it can't see the A: drive (If that is the problem)later.

You need a boot floppy disk to install win95 from cd. Eiteher use a win98 bootdisk or down load one with cd support from bootdisk.com Boot from this. Go to the win95 cd using the drive leter assigned to it (could be anyting from D thru Z so take note of this when the floppy boots up. Change directory to the win95 directory. Type setup. Press enter Your away yipee......

Thanks for the information, but no luck. I have a message: "suspend to disk partition not found...RUN HDPREPEZ..." then: "Loading Boot Record from Floppy..Not Found" "Loading Boot Record from IDE-0..OK" then: "Invalid system disk Replace the disk, and then press any key" I have tried several Boot-disks, with no solution. Basically, (in the process of formatting the HD), I can't get to the C: prompt to make corrections. Advise? Andrew

if it cant find boot record from floppy and you have tried several floppies(they cant all be bad) then the problem must be in the floppy drive. it wont be able to find boot record from ide 0 untill you get the floppy fixed.

I am also having problems with reinstalling windows 95, i have recently attempted to format my c: drive and reinstall windows 95 but when the computer tries to install, it tells me that there is not enough conventional memory. What can i do to get more conventioanl memory??????? Is there any program that i can run in dos??
