| 1116651 | 2010-07-07 09:13:00 | Last time I tried to install 3.1 it screwed my (I mean my friends) hard drive. Obviously Windows 7 & 3.1 aren't compatible (dual booted). | icow (15313) | ||

We figured that the floppies had corrupted themselves and 'cause 3.1 boots so fast you can't get into the bios to change it make to 7. So the computer just tried to boot a bad copy of 3.1 every time you turned it on. it wouldn't even let me get to DOS to manual boot to 7. |

| 1116655 | 2010-07-08 11:11:00 | Installation was 7x 1.2MB discs, with the 8th being for additional drivers. We had Win31 happily on a 50MB HDD. Win95 was quite happy on a 1.2GB or runnable at least on a 50MB with min components I think or a bit more if you enable disk compression :D One of the computers is still using win2k, it's great, used almost daily. A few years back one other was on Win95, it's great with a CD-ROM we bought in 1995 and a 1995 1.2GB HDD. Win95, Firefox, MSN, it worked. Office 2000. |
