Easiest way would be to make an emergency boot floppy (Start-Settings-Control Panel, Add-Remove Programs, should be a Startup Disk tab), then boot off the floppy. Make sure you have access to the CDROM, as I can't remember if Win95 includes DOS CD ROM drivers or not. If it does, then type a "format c:", let it spin for awhile, then switch to the CDROM (Probably going to be d:) and then type "setup" and enter. Follow the prompts, and you should be set to go. If you don't have access to the CDROM in DOS, you'll have to find a DOS level CDROM driver. It would seem odd for it not to have one somewhere, though. If all else fails, find someone with Windows 98 and use the emergency boot floppy from there. I know that Win98 included a DOS CDROM driver on the boot disk. It won't hurt Win95 to be installed from a Win98 boot. Hope this helps :) Scott Holder -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
