Subject: [PCBUILD] Installing full version Win 95


> I have a Pentium 120 system that has the following OS; MS Dos 5, Win 3.1,
and Win 95 (upgrade). About once a year I clean up my hard drive and
re-install my operating systems to get rid of all the junk. I recently
purchased a full version Windows 95 disk so I could eliminate loading Dos 5
and Win 3.1 which are on 5 1/4" floppies. I also have two independent hard
drives. I use one to experiment with and I leave the other one alone until I
get one right, which is what I am doing now.
> I have formated the drive using a boot disk and I think I installed my CD
Rom   drive. I do get the D:\ prompt. However, my full version Windows 95 OS
will not install. I am wondering if there is something in the BIOS that
should be changed because the system was operated with Dos 5, Win 3.1, and
Win 95 Upgrade.
> Any assistance would be greatl
> y appreciated.
> Thank you

> PS. I'm 74 years old and I am doing this to keep active. I could go out
and get a new computer but I would like to try this. Later I intend to build
my own computer (maybe). I would appreciate answers put in a way that a
layman could follow, step by step if possible. Thanks again.
