It depends if your system was upgraded from 3.1x to 95 or 95 was factory
installed.

If it was factory installed then your system is unlikely to either
autoexec.bat/config.sys as 95 will have all the settings.

Either way make sure that you have in your config.sys a line that
releates to your cd rom driver and a line in your autoexec.bat that
releates to mscdex.exe.  These two lines will give your PC connection to
the CD.

If you dont have these lines of code then you will have to format your
drive, install dos,  install your cd-rom software , reboot,  insert
win95 CD in drive, type setup on your cd drive (if your win95 cd is the
upgrade cd then you will need disk 1 on win 3.1x and when 95 asks for a
location of a previous copy of windoze insert floppy and type a: )

If you need any help then email me (I do this sort of stuff everyday at
work)
