Trying to install Win95 as a second OS (to play older DOS
games) Runs through installation but after final restart I
get an error msg. "unable to load IOS restart your
computer" Can not figure out what IOS means! If I try to
boot 95 in safe mode, get same message. Can anyone HELP?
Thank You, Robert

Why re-install Windows just to run DOS games? All you need is a bootable
hard disk, which you can make by booting to floppy and doing SYS C:
