Hello everyone.
  Giving an old computer to the kids so they can play
games.  Using MAXBLAST, I formatted, partitioned, and
copied system files using a boot-up disk from
www.bootdisk.com (I needed MSCDEX for CD-ROM drive
support).  From the "95B 4.00.950 B" CD disc, I tried to
install Win95.  It SCANDISKs, after which it returns on a
black screen with the message "Error loading GDI.EXE".  In
an effort to copy GDI.EXE (Graphics Device Interface) from
my computer onto the problem computer, I did a QUICK VIEW
and noticed a lot of addresses. I did not want to take the
chance.
    Viewing other similar postings here, I tried: (1)
Added to  MSDOS.SYS: BootGUI=1; (2) copied from Win95 on
CD disc: d:\WIN95\*.* to the problem computer harddrive
after making directories: C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS; (3)
checked BOOTLOG.TXT for any errors regarding graphics
display devices.  Only the CDROM and HIMEM.SYS devices
were referenced and they both loaded successfully.
   Thank you for your time and assistance....Phil
