185589 2003-10-23 03:07:00 The trouble seems to be that if the BIOS does it, it sometimes conflicts with what Windows does. Things will usually still work, but it takes longer. That's why I suggest flipping the setting in the BIOS and leave it at the one which works best. Graham L (2)
185590 2003-10-23 03:35:00 I found a thing saying Report No FDD For WIN 95. What is this?

Could it be part of the problem?

Where do I find an option to turn off Plug and Play?

185591 2003-10-23 03:40:00 I have some options:

PNP OS Installed Yes/No (curently yes)

Resoucres controlled by : Manual/Auto (currently Manual)



What ones of them?

185592 2003-10-23 03:40:00 "Report No FDD" might cause Windows to get upset. This could be a "security" thing ... If it's on, turn it off. :D

Just go through the pages of the setup, reading carefully. ;-) You can't do any damage if you just "look".

185595 2003-10-23 04:10:00 The drive 1 detection will be in either the first page, or an IDE page . That's a different problem .

I'd try manual resource allocation on, first . If that's no better, try turning the P&P off .

185596 2003-10-23 06:03:00 I am using a Windows 98 cd to boot, since I cant seem to boot from the 95 cd. I cant remember what happened to the boot disk, maybe it worked, but I am using the cd for some reason.

I dont seem to have an option to turn PNP off (is plug and play PNP?)
Only manual and auto.

I will keep looking.

In dos, im not sure what my drive A: is. It seems to have the content of a boot disk.

Drive B:is my floppy drive, and it works, because i have tried it.

Maybe its this weird drive A: thing

185597 2003-10-23 06:04:00 I also had a sharing violation on drive A: mejobloggs (264)
185598 2003-10-23 06:35:00 Plug your floppy drive into the end of the multicore cable - NOT the middle. This is the A drive. W95 is not bootable from CD. Why not just load W98 insread? To install W95 you need a boot disc - this is a floppy - once booted, change prompt to E: and type set up.exe.
