You need a Win95 boot floppy with CD-ROM drivers. (you find them hopefully still on the net) What devices you can boot from? CD-ROM? USB? If you can not boot from floppy because you do not own a floppy then there is a workarround, a bit tricky... You can boot (CD-ROM or USB) from grub and then use memdisk. Or you boot from grub4dos and then use floppy emulation. Both ways would emulate a boot floppy. Fine enough for installing Win9x. It`s also possible to install MS-DOS on USB pendrive or harddrive. Instructions also online. -mr ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
