The 95 on the CD has to be 95b or later.
The original 95 & 95a have no idea what FAT32 is.

You'll also need a "boot" floppy with the proper drivers so the
system will be able to see the CDROM drive.

Take the first link you come to.

so maybe you should reformat your HD, and re-partion it
with a Fat 16 primary DOS partition.
