The main thing you need to do is create a DOS boot disk with the
necessary drivers to run your CD ROM. After you create a bootable disk,
copy your CD ROM drivers onto the floppy along with MSCDEX.exe from DOS.
Copy your autoexec.bat and config.sys files to the floppy. Edit them so
the CD ROM driver and MSCDEX.exe point to the proper path, i.e. drive
A:. Try booting from this floppy to be sure your CD ROM works. If it
does, then format your HD, boot from the floppy, install the WIN95 CD
ROM and run Setup. If this is an upgrade version then it will ask for
the first disk from Win 3.1 to allow the upgrade to proceed. From there
on in just follow the screen prompts and its done. That is the only way
I will install WIN95. Eliminates many conflicts.
