Greetings to all,
And thanks to everyone for their help.  I too, found a way, new to me and
will share it with you.  I found it at
http://www.windrivers.com/tech/tips/Mar98/index3.htm
    <snip>  to install Windows 95 upgrade on a clean hard drive just type the
following at a C> prompt:
      DIR>NTLDR
and then hit enter.
Then, Install Windows 95 as usual.
This fools Windows 95 upgrade into thinking that there is already an
operating system on your system.  Nice, Easy, Clean!   <snip>
    This worked for me & saved me from contacting MS to try and replace my
Disk.
Thanks again,
Wendy Brown
