Redhatcc Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I know with windows xp you can install it directly from the hard drive via copying the file from the cd and running winnt32.exe in 32bit UI, is there a way to install windows 95 without using floppy disk and cd's to do the initial installation?

submix8c Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) FDISK, FORMAT, make a folder ( MD C:\WIN95 ), copy all setup files to the folder ( COPY x:\FolderOfFiles\*.* C:\WIN95 ), change directory ( CD C:\WIN95) to that folder, and run SETUP. It must be installed onto the C: drive (naturally) aka Active Partition. Using partitioning utilities (other than FDISK), it's possible to create multiple Primary Partitions, then set the partition in question to Active thereby saving any original C: drive (if you are multi-booting).HTHedit - above is common method used by OEM's by first creating WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS folder (although variation was used for pre-installs).

Ponch Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 first creating WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS folderBe careful to correct when it wants to install to "C:\WINDOWS.000" because C:\WINDOWS already exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
