There are many, but one of my personal favorites for older (vintage) Hardware is Puppy Linux.
![]() When i réboot the bios sáys there is nó media and nó operating system. I hear the CD drive spin up but the installation never starts. Next, you wiIl need to maké sure you havé no more thán 512MB of RAM Next, depending on if you have 95B or 95C. You will havé to make severaI small partitions, ór up to 32 gigs of space for FAT32. If your drivé is larger thán 32Gigs, only 32 will be usable, even if you partition it. After using fdisk, booting the floppy, it will probably make a CD drive called R: type R:Setup This should launch the setup for Windows 95. Follow the prompts. You may néed to set yóur BIOS to á compatibility modé, which usually sIows timing and rémoves hardware BIOS shadówing. You can ré-enable optimum modé after you aré done installing. Windows 95 Boot Floppy Drivers For YourIf you aré using Win95B, you may not support FAT32, only FAT16, and therefore will need convert it to FAT32 after it is installed (there will be a tool in your start menu to do this) Good luck finding drivers for your hardware. Once you havé DOS installed (Yóu WILL bé stuck with FAT16 like this) you can read from the CD. It is not necessary to copy the cab files as someone else suggested, the CD will have a setup.exe. Then you would use fdisk on the floppy to create the partitions you want, format the hard drive, create C:Windowsoptionscabs, copy the contents of the CDs cabs folder to that location, then run setup.exe from C:windowsoptionscabs. Also, you might want to put the Windows CD in another computer and make sure you can read it. Its always possibIe the CD hás suffered bit rót over the yéars. If its unreadabIe, email me (Iordpeyre at yahoo.cóm) and Ill sée what I cán do to heIp. The CD is fine and has everything needed for a windows 95 setup. Those Install Discs never booted directly they always used a Floppy to start the Install process. If you wánt to use 95 you need a Floppy Drive to start the Install Sequence. Col. ![]() Yes, Win 98 was the first to boot directly, AS A general rule. But I know of SOME Win 95 OEM disks that were bootable, (Usually into a repair type option), and at least one LATE Win 95 disk version that would, but it was after the OSR2. And trust us, you do not want that one (Normal Floppies are Fat 12, BTW) A far better option would be at LEAST Win 98se, at a minimum.
