I have encountered the same problem (using SETUP.EXE from the CD-ROM).  I
talked to one of my techie friends who mentioned that I should NOT be
loading any type of DOS on the HD, just use a simple START disk (containing
FDISK, MSCDEX.EXE  and some other basic programs) and to use that to try to
load windows up.  I will try it again this weekend, but I'm tired of trying
and trying and trying...

If someone could tell me the correct procedure to installing windows95, I
would be very grateful.
