5247846 Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Hey guys!I was looking for an untouched Windows 95 Boot Floppy image for CD-ROM install in all the Internet and I didn't find it.Can anybody still having this floppy disk, please make a disk image of it and upload it to somewhere else? The Microsoft part number of this floppy disk is 000-13159.Any help would be appreciated.Regards,Javier Donoso. Edited June 1, 2011 by 5247846
Kelsenellenelvian Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Can I ask WHY does it HAVE to be unmodified???
Tripredacus Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 And what about bootdisk.com They have a bunch of them.
Yzöwl Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 You would need to modify any disk in order to provide a working CDROM driver compatible with the particular unit on the PC you required it for.

submix8c Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 BOOTDISKS.COM - as was stated, even an "unmodified" is (AFAIK) an OEM version and needs the CD driver (floppy altered by the OEM). I have one, but it's pointless. It does nothing more than boot to DOS and has a few modules on it. Essentially, in and of itself, useless until altered.

Guest wsxedcrfv Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) I don't know why anyone thinks they need a win-9x "boot floppy". There is no such thing as a "boot floppy" as far as I'm concerned. If you have access to a win-9x machine, then insert a floppy disk and go "format c: a: /s". You'll have a DOS on a bootable floppy disk.copy these files to the floppy: - mscdex.exe - himem.sys - smartdrv.exe - emm386.exeYou must find and copy one of these files to the floppy as well:- cdrom.sys- cdtech.sys- MTMCDAI.SYSIf you can find all three, then do it.create an autoexec.bat file on the floppy and put this in it:SMARTDRV.EXE A- B- C+ /V 4096 4096 /E:8192 /B:8192MSCDEX.EXE /D:MTMIDE01 /V /S /M:8create config.sys on the floppy and put this in it:DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS /verboseDEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS D=64 A=15 VERBOSEDOS=HIGH,UMBrem DEVICEHIGH=CDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001 /DMArem DEVICEHIGH=CDTECH.SYS /D:MSCD001 /UDMA2 /Vrem DEVICEHIGH=MTMCDAI.SYS /D:MTMIDE01Remove the "rem" in front of ONE of the above lines that matches the cd-rom driver that you copied to the floppy.That's it. Change the computer's boot sequence so that the floppy drive is booted first, and boot from the floppy. Your CD -rom drive should now be accessible as the D drive. So put your win-95 cd in and change to the D drive at the DOS prompt and run setup from the CD.Alternatively, you could save yourself some time and connect the drive you want to install win-95 on to a running computer as a slave drive, format it on that computer, and copy the win-95 cd to that computer. Then remove the drive and re-connect it back to the installation computer and run setup from the hard drive. Edited June 2, 2011 by wsxedcrfv strikethrough and replace driveletter in order to prevent formatting the system drive.
submix8c Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) DRVCOPY.INF has the sole purpose of copying the CD-ROM driver to the HDD. Look here for what's on a boot disk. A simple google on that particular file will get you an example. It's used by "OEMSETUP" as a parameter input. There's nothing mystical about it. Everything you "need" is as posted above by others.

Kelsenellenelvian Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Why are you being EXCESSIVELY anal about this?You DO KNOW that any disk copied then uploaded to you fits your stigma of being counterfeited? Edited June 3, 2011 by Kelsenellenelvian
allen2 Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Also if you want to be really "secure" like you seem to be, you should check the MD5 or CRC32 and not the date and time because date and time can easily counterfeited with the unixtool touch.exe (for example).
