Windows Forum / Windows 95 / June 2004"Cannot Read Disk" Message by installing Win 95
Hello, I try to install Windows 95 on a old Laptop without an CD- Rom Drive. I connected this Laptop(Com-Port) to a modern Desktop PC and transfered the Windows 95 installation files. The files orignially come form a Windows 95 floppy disk edition. (I made a backup a time ago by copying the floppy disk files to my Desktop PC in a common directory) So now to my problem(on the Laptop MS-DOS 6.22 is installed). I started the windows setup file. This also works. The setup started, I could choose the directory where to install windows and then I can choose which kind of setup I prefer(typical...). But if I click next there comes the Message "cannont Read Disk"(Setup cannot read the Windows 95 Setup disk. Make sure the disk is inserted in the drive and the drive door is closed). As you see there aren`t many informations in this message but I hope anybody can help me... A look at "c:\setuplog.txt" might be helpful.

The setup system is pointing to an ini file (the name escapes me at the moment) that has references to the A: drive in it. Your process would have worked if you had copied the setup files from a cd, because that ini file uses dynamic pathing to account for the varying locations the files might be at in a cd situation. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > there aren`t many informations in this message but I hope > anybody can help me... It is IMPOSSIBLE to install Windows 95 with MS-DOS 6.22 running on your system. Re-format your hard drive with your Startup Disks. >-----Original Message----- >Hello, [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > >. That's not correct. It is quite possible to install W95 on a system running MS-DOS 6.22 without formatting the hard drive.
