How to install OSR2.1 OVER previous versions of Win95.

1) Copy Win95 OSR2.1 files to a directory on the HD.
2) Open "Precopy2.cab". 
3) Extract the "Layout.inf" file. Insert the line "setuppp.inf=0,,4550".
4) Extract the "Setuppp.inf" file. Find "ProductType=9", change this to
"ProductType=2". (This tells the install program that this is an upgrade
and not a new install).
5) Run setup.exe and you are in there.

The system is now FAT32 capable, however, you must run Partition Magic
or other "partition-on-the-fly" software to enable FAT32.


PS Wacks who don't know shit about computers SHOULD NOT give advice.

               You can't load OSR 2.1+ on a disk that already has an OS.
The best thing to
               do is format you're drive (backing up anything you don't
want to lose). Boot
               off you're Win95 Start-up floppy with the CD in the
drive, sit back and
               watch 95 install.

               The issue with OSR/2 is it is a manufacturers only
release.  If you have a
               CD, you must blow your system clean before you install
it.  Or, you can just
               wait for Windows 98! :)

               Sorry, you can't.  To install OSR2 on a machine that
already has Windows
               95 version a on it, you first have to FORMAT the
harddrive to wipe it
               clean, and then install OSR2 and all your old files.

               OSR2 and version a are incompatible.  (Windows 98 will
fix this.)
