Ok here we go i am trying to install win95 from cdrom.But i am having lots of problems ,most recent is this "not enough extended/xms memory.
Imade a primary drive and extened drive to combat this.
did i do the right thing??.
also when i had my win3.1 in and tried to install win95 a window popped up and told me i needed the upgrade version of 95 since i have 3.1 already in..
is there a way around these problems without spending for money??

thanks to all that help

Copy the CABS to the hard drive and run setup from there. Boot the system with a DOS disk then goto the Dir that you saved the cabs to and run setup.

WHEN I TRIED INSTALLING FROM 3.1 IT GAVE ME A WINDOW SAYING THAT SINCE I WAS ALREADY USING A SIMULAR VERSION OF WINDOWS THAT I NEEDED THE UPGRADE VERSION OF WIN95.

BYE THE WAY I TRIED COPYINF ALL CABS TO C: AND REBOOT WITH DOS AND WHEN I WENT BACK TO C: AND TYPED IN SETUP,INSTALL NOTHING HAPPED BUT A DOS SETUP WHICH I ALREADY HAVE..

PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN..
THANK YOU

There is a way, you can boot with a dos disk and rename the Win.com to xxx.com then install 95.

Pick a thread.

FORMAT C: /C/U (don't use the /S switch)

Never mind.

What does FORMAT C: /C/U give you?

And why not /S for system files.
