Windows Forum / Windows 95 / February 2004Windows 95 Startup Problem...
I have been running windows ME for a long time and I decided to install windows 95... However, I have installed Windows 95 and my computer will not load windows, as it says ''This Version of Windows requires MSDOS 8.0''... Can anyone help me get past this message? Please reply as soon as possible because I would like to use my computer... If I have to Format my computer, can anyone tell me how I do it? If there are any other way's to get past the message can you please tell me what they are and how I can do them... Thanks... > I have been running windows ME for a long time and I > decided to install windows 95... > > However, I have installed Windows 95 and my computer will > not load windows, as it says ''This Version of Windows > requires MSDOS 8.0''... be sure to turn off virus protection in the bios then boot with your win95 floppy (you can get one from www.bootdisk.com ) and issue the command sys C: btw: if your machine is a fast cpu such as above an AMD-300 or a P-IV win95 will not run unless you apply the fast cpu patch that can be difficult or impossible to apply >-----Original Message----- > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >win95 will not run unless you apply the fast cpu patch >that can be difficult or impossible to apply I tryed bootdisk.com but when I inserted the disk into my computer it said 'cannot run under MSDOS' THANKS www.Bootdisk.COM will provide you with a utility that can be used to create a bootdisk. The utility must be run from within Windows. It can be run on any machine that is running Windows. The disk created by the utility can then be used as a boot disk.

However when I typed in 'SYS C:' it said 'invalid dive specification' What should I do now?!? The message indicates that the hard disk is not partitioned or the hard disk drive is not working correctly. The message should not appear if the disk was previously working properly with Windows ME. Is there anything that might suggest the disk is not working properly or has somehow lost its partitioning?

The boot disk was the wrong type... I have managed to get windows me on now instead of windows 95. But when I try to load up Windows it comes up with a different message. It says: 'While initializing device IOS: ERROR: An I/O subsystem driver failed to load. Either a file in the .\iosubsys subdirectory is corrupt, or the system is low on memory' What does this message mean, and is there a way to get past it? Thanks... ME questions should be asked in a ME newsgroup. How much RAM is available? http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];272960 Error Messages Occur When Using Msconfig.exe to Limit Memory Usage SignatureJeff Richards MS MVP W95/W98 > Hi, > I found out what was wrong...
