I believe there is a very good article in the FAQ's at the No Spin web site at:

http://nospin.com/pc/faqs0005.html   on setting up hard drives, and

http://nospin.com/pc/pcb_win95.html   installing windows 95

I hope you have a New Machine Install version of windows95, as I don't
think you can start from scratch with an upgrade disk.

There are also generic drivers for your cdrom at the site, as well as a
"boot disk" making program to get you started with cdrom support at:

http://nospin.com/bootdisk/index.html   website, or

http://nospin.com/bootdisk/win95_osr2.exe   the actual file for downloading.


I imagine that your hard drives are both set to master, ( the new drive is
usually defaulted to master or single) and your old drive WAS your bootup
drive, so it had to be master. Set the newer drive to master and the old
one to slave on the same cable. Save the other ide cable for the cdrom drive.
