Create a startup disk using one of the programs from
www.bootdisk.com. This will include a generic driver for cd-rom
drives. If it works, it will assign drive letter r: to your
friend's cd-rom drive. Put the cd in and from the a: prompt
type: r:\setup [enter]
The Windows 95 start up disks do not include any cd-rom drivers.
If your friend has a non-generic cd-rom drive you will need the
drivers for his cd-rom drive and, possibly, the drivers for his
sound card.
