Have a Dell Latitude CP MMX233ST/128 RAM with a 20 GIG
HD... the HD is formatted/partitioned and totally clean..

I have a FULL WIN 95 CD sitting in my CD-ROM Module Bay
(E) and my FDD Module (D) externally connected

I have a Super Boot FDD in the FDD Module and the WIN95 CD
in the CD Drive.

I am booted and am in MS-DOS..

What do I type to get the WIN 95 installation started? (I
have tried WIN, INSTALL, RUN, etc)..

Thanks

If your floppy boot disk provides CD support:

Switch to the drive letter of the CD drive example E: or
whatever yours is.

No CD support: get a boot floppy from bootdisk.com.

Switch to the Win95 directory on the CD 'cd win95'.
Then at the >E:\win95 prompt, type Setup .

Suggestion: If the CD drive is slow best you copy the whole
Win95 directory to your HD and run setup from there.

Make a directory for the files-

>C:\md Window95 <---eight letters maximum filename here

Copy all files to HD-

>E:\win95 copy *.* C:\window95

When it finishes go the the c:\window95 prompt and type: setup

>C:\window95 setup

Have your COA handy.

also...
is your drive set up as all one partition (fat32)

if so...your version of windows will need to be win95B or C
as win95a is for fat (16) only
