Windows 95 Setup CD BOOT DISK

Comment:
I have a totally wiped HP Vectra computer. When I start it up it tells me that "NO OPERATING SYSTEM FOUND".
I want to install WIN95, and I then insert my cd and restart the computer. But it never loads off the CD. I have tried using the start up disk I made, but it doesn't work.
Is there a place where I can get a disk that start the setup CD?

You can get a Win95 bootdisk with cdrom support from Bootdisk.com or you can get a startup disk from a computer running Win98 which has cdrom support.

None of the Windows 95 CDs are bootable.

What the boys are saying is that WIN95 CDs could not be used as a boot disk. You have to boot from a floppy boot disk which has CDROM support. THEN you can load Windows from the CD 'Setup' program.

Thanks for your help.
I've tried making the boot disks as they show on bootdisk.com, but my system does not recognize them - perhaps they aren't identified as system disks? I have also tried using the WIN98 boot disk with my Win95 cd.
No matter what I do I still hit the road block:
Operating system not found _
