trying to install Win95 on the following sys:
2 hard drives C and D that are piggybacked, 3.5 floppy and 5.25 floppy that are piggybacked, and a CD-Rom that is independently ribboned(IDE)
i am attempting to reinstall Win95..i have a bootdisk and i have a cd-rom device driver disk...when i reinstall, the cd-rom does not get recognized after all is said and done in the normal installation. .....it is my guess that because the hard drives are lettered C and D, the Cd-rom is looking for D but it is occupied. I have tried to edit the config.sys and the autoexec.bat to no avail...(the Win95 screen freezes)
my query is this....is it possible to uninstall or disable a particular hard drive (C or D) that would allow the cd-rom to find its way onto the system? or are there universal floppy-type programs that would allow me to restructure the cd-rom conflict.....in the past, i have indeed formatted and installed Win95 then Win98 then WinXP with the disks that i have, without a hitch but those were indeed just one(1) physical drive systems.......this two physical drive configuration seems to be a conflict......please advise at your earliest time.....Thanks with a Smile!!!!!
