Move the hard drive into another computer and install there - be
prepared for many restarts after returning the drive to the
laptop.

Please note that some laptop computers required a proprietary
(modified by the laptop manufacturer) version of Windows 95 and
be sure that you have some means to get all the drivers
installed.

( I would have mentioned using an external (parrallel port)
drive, networking or a direct cable connection, but none of these
will work without a bootable disk in the laptop - you have to
install drivers of one sort or another to use these).

Why do you need a floppy drive in order to install W95?   If the hard disk
is bootable (you can get to a DOS prompt) then you can install CD-ROM
drivers for your drive, and install Windows 95 from the CD. Or you can copy
the CD to the hard disk and install from the hard disk.

If the hard drive is not bootable then you will need to remove the hard
drive and install it in another machine to make it bootable.  The procedure
is to FDISK (if required to create partitions), FDISK again to set the
primary partition active, then FORMAT with the /s option (FORMAT X: /s where
X is the drive letter for the drive ) to install the operating system files
and make the disk bootable (or FORMAT X:, followed by SYS X: - same effect).
Then reinstall it in the laptop, boot to DOS, install the CD-ROM drivers,
insert the Windows CD and install Windows.
