-pops- Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Does this computer already have an operating system installed?It is very difficult/impossible to back track and install versions of Windows earlier than the one already there.If there is no operating system, I suggest that you prepare/obtain a boot disk for W95 and start again with f-disk, format and then install afresh.

tomtom1 Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 No there is no other OS.The drive was partitioned using FDISK and formated FAT16 using W95 bootdisk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
