Windows Forum / Windows 95 / February 2004Startup Problem
I need help urgent... I have been using Windows ME for along time and yesterday I installed Windows 95... However It will not load up because when I try to start Windows 95 it says 'This version of windows requires MS- DOS 8.0' Can anyone help me sort this out? (I need to use my PC) > I need help urgent... > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Windows 95 it says 'This version of windows requires MS- > DOS 8.0' You didn't try installing it over Windows ME did you? DOS 8.0 is the version that is included with WinME. You need to format the drive then install Windows 95. How can I format my computer to windows me?

You need to Sys C: from the appropriate-version Win95 boot diskette, that's all (have the Sys command file on that diskette). Specifically, you need: 1) The hidden etc. C:\IO.SYS found by PBR to be Win95 version 2) The hidden etc. C:\MSDOS.SYS to point to Win95 installation 3) No conflicting hidden etc. C:\WINBOOT.INI to be present That's all - though for bonus points, a correct-version Win95 C:\Command.com is highly recommended :-) >---------- ----- ---- --- -- - - - - Consumer Asks: "What are you?"
