This was quite awhile ago and I haven't verified what I did but this could probably help. All of the files were already decompressed from the CD/Floppy and I believe all I had to do was execute DOSX.EXE to continue the setup process. When it finished installation for it's first reboot, instead of continuing the installation I booted into DOS and noticed that I could continue installation myself when I wanted. You should be able to do this with winrar or the dos version.ДЄwhile back I remember installing 95 inside VPC/Vmware. You will get farther if you extract the cabs from the images and repack them in to archives that will fit on a 1.44 floppy. Repacking the files you have extracted from the cabs will fail setup is looking for the cab files. The links below cover all of the disks for 95a including the contents of cab files. You might want to compare the date/time/sizes of the files that you have with what MS says they are supposed to be. Anybody? Setup is expecting the cab files and errors out when it doesn't find them.

What I suspect I might need is a way to repack the files using a DOS or windows 3.1 program. any thoughts? I can't simply use teh copy command since the disks are 1.72 DMF format which Dos doesn't understand, and I can't fit the CAB files onto a 1.68 format, and I can't format to 2.88 because I don't have any computers with disk drives to do that. I have every other cab file extracted into that dirctory. I have all of the setup files in that dirctory. I am sure that I have both the prcopy and the win95_02 files extracted to that directory. When I hit enter, it cannot find the files that were extracted from the disk 2 cab file. The problem is that when I run setup from that directory, it asks for disk 2.

Ok, latest update- all of the cab files were extracted to my hardisk into a directory. The rest of the cabs are one per disk and in numerical order. MAXI Disk can handle the format of the floppies How can I make these floppies work? Thanks in advance I also tried the simple drag/drop of the files of the second disk, but no avail. Regardless of what I asnwer, I always get the error 'cannot read windows 95 setup disk'.

The problem is when I use Win Image to make the disks, the install runs, asks me for the second disk, loads up until the screen where it asks me what kind of install to perform. Now I formated 13 floppies to 1.72 mb (all except the install disk which has to be 1.44).

I just happen to have an archive file that has the individual floppy disks for windows 95 on it - View image here:. are there any other image writers? Also, could this be related to the fact that disk 2 has a prcopy file and a win95 CAB file on it? My primary system that I'm writing with uses windows ME, since 1.72 isn't supported by XP. My second install attempt, I used a program (maxformat?) or something to format the disks to 1.72, than dragged and dropped using windows explorer. X window runs pretty slow though with any kind of GUI.ДЄt first I would decompress the disk archive, and inject the files onto the image, and use the 'format and write to disk' function to make the 1.72 disks. As for linux, I plan on switching the computer to Mulinux (I have already done so but I want something I can use between now and the summer, so I reformatted to windows). A 33mhz 486sx will not work with 98- believe me, although I love the old and strange, I never cared much for windows 95 due to the constant problems I had with it (it was on my first computer- the family computer still had windows 3.1 on it with Tabworks) - View image here: - Anyways I appreciate the suggestion of 98, but I know it doesn't work. While I know my laptop meets 98 system requirements for RAM, HD, the 33 mhz will not pass the processor tests- you need a 66mhz 486DX (math copro vs SX with no math copro, probalby for other reasons too though).
