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.
