I can tell you how to avoid this problem, asking for the Windows CD, in
the future.  Make a directory on your drive to hold the Windows install
files.  I use C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS.  Copy all of the files in the
Win95 or Win95 directory off of the CD into the directory you created.
Install Windows from the Hard Drive.  If you installed from the CD you
can still point to the Hard Drive directory when you need files from the
CD.  If you install from the hard drive it should default to that
directory.

The major disadvantage to this method is that it does take up over 100
meg on your hard drive,  but it sure beats having to locate the CD or if
you travel it saves you the hassle of having to carry it with you "just
in case".

Just my opinions,

Robert Kilroy
