How Would I create 95 setup disks from my cd?

[BigBDrugStores]

im working on a fairly old laptop and the damn thing dosnt have a cdrom. i just put a 3gb hd in it and i am ordering a win 95 osr2 cdrom (so i can get the fat32 ). i need to create a set of setup floppys so i can rock and roll. my question to yall is this, are the win 95 floppys cab files or am i going to have to extract each cab file and write the contents to each floppy? i already know how to modify the setup files to allow a floppy install from cd files so thats not a big deal.

Um no there is absolutely no way you can do that. Period.

Try BootDisk.com

 

[Bobo]

no, bootdisks don't do anything if the OS isn't already installed. They just recover a corrupted installation.

 

[Trizoy]

Actually, they boot you to the programs loaded onthe boot disk. Good for formatting and parititoning a drive out side of the OS.

I recomend the Win98SE disk for that.

ok, does anyone have windows 95 disks?

if you do, can you tell me how the disks are setup.

do they just have cab files in them, or is it a list of files like win 3.x or nt 3.x setup floppys?

i already have the win 95b bootdisk. i can boot into dos 7.10 and partition and format my drive. i just ned to know how the disks are setup so i can mke my floppys

AFAIK, there is no way to fully install Win95 without boot disks.

Some of the files on the CD are 50MB. How are you going to put those onto a floppy?

Well I'm not sure how to do it but I have a incomplete set of Windows 95 Floppies so It can be done.
