The CDROM works with my Windows 98 boot floppy, so will use this method to
access the CDROM and reload Windows 95. Out of curiosity I re-tried both
the Win 95 and an old DOS 6.22 boot disk that had cdrom drivers in config
and autoexec but could not read the same cd as was successfully read by Win
98 boot disk. I'll re-load Win 95 and try to create another 95 boot disk,
but will keep the Win 98 boot disk close by.
Thanks greatly.
