hi all

i am trying to reinstall windows on an olivetti echos pro.  problem is that
the floppy drive and cd drive can't be mounted into the laptop the same
time, they use the same slot.  it's either one of them.  when i boot with a
floppy drive i can't reach the cd of course, so i don't know how to install
win95.  i do have backup diskettes i created when i first used the laptop, a
program guided me to do this.  i have a disk called  : "win 95 startup disk"
and a diskette called "win95 bootdisk with cd".  i suppose the last one
could be used to rreach the cd (????????). anyway, i don't seem to get it
working.
could anyone please help ?
plz email : w.caestecker@pandora.be
thank a lot in advance

weno
