I recently reformatted a friends dinosaur IBM Aptiva and
once  running the recovery CD-Rom, it asks for the Win95
Boot floppy. I found a reliable floppy disk and program,
but the computer is not reading the data. HELP!!

you can download a windows floppy from www.bootdisk.com

the file you download can create a floppy on a blank disk when you run it

I did that, it didn't work, the machine was not reading the
data. I dont' know if it's an A drive error or if it's the
motherboard. The info on the disk was from www.bootdisk.com.

I checked the plugs and cords, everything is working
properly. I was also thinking of making a copy of Windows
Installer 2.0 Redistributable for Windows 95, 98, and Me.

Is this advisable?
