I accidentally formated the hard drive on an older laptop. And I have a windows 95 disk. What do I do to get the computer to load windows?

wow thats going back a bit..lol I am not sure how they did things way back then but I'd assume you'd run the cd and follow onscreen instructions.

this might help http://www.computerhope.com/win95.htm

I just googled "help with windows 95" you can too but only for now

I don't think it matters whether it's windows 95 or windows 7, I need the programing code that allows the computer to reconise an operating system!

You need to boot with the Win95 startup floppy disk. I don't think any of the Win95 CDs were bootable.

Once at an A:\> prompt, you can use Fdisk and Format if needed to format the drive, then run setup.exe from the CD, which will usually be drive D:, so you'd type D:\setup.exe at the A:\> prompt.
