Windows Forum / Windows 95 / April 2004Load Win 95 on reformated Hard drive???
Is there anyway to bypass the loading of the original disk? I reformatted my hard drive on an old computer and tried to install the Win 95 upgrade but it keeps looking for an old version of windows. I no longer have the original Win 3.1 disk and since I refromatted the hard drive that had the copy of 95 on it it just keeps kicking me out.

Any help??? there is a way to trick it by just putting a dummy file on a floppy IIRC the file is win.cnf or win.cn_ try both you can just make the file in a text editor and put a few random letters in it Thanks for the inof - it worked fine. >-----Original Message----- > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > >. >-----Original Message----- >Is there anyway to bypass the loading of the original [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >. >Your problem is that the WIN95 Upgrade will not load WIN 95 on a blank Drive. You have to have 3.1 on it or buy a new OEM (complete) copy of win95. You can try this site if you want the WIN95 CD---- www.9sofware.com. Good Luck.... >>Is there anyway to bypass the loading of the original >>disk?

No guarantees, but you can try this. Use DOS to create a folder on the harddisk named Windows. Put any file whatever into this folder and name it Win.com. Then try to install Win 95.
