Hi, Steve -- you have a 'companion disk,' which cannot be used to re-install Windows 95. Well, not unless you find a real Windows 95 CD and copy SETUP.EXE (and a handful of other files, sorry I don't have the list handy but you ought to be able to dig it out of the http://www.dejanews.com news archive without much problem; search for 95 AND companion AND setup) onto a diskette; between that diskette and your CD you will then posess a complete, installable version.

> I have done this a million times.  Does this version not support a fresh
> install?  Am I missing something?
