| 417277 | 2006-01-02 07:09:00 | Hi I'm having a bit of a problem, I need to install Win95 on an 80mb hard drive. Now, I've have tried many methods including a common mistake of using an old compresser that couldn't load a required driver under DOS 7, and I can't work out how to use DrvSpace out of Win95. I'm installing off a Zip disk on a parallel zip drive. I'm really stuck now and need to get this done for my brother. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks. When I first installed Win 95 it came on about 25 3.5 floppy disks and installed on a 20 Meg hard drive. DrvSpace if loaded would compress the hard drive so would appear bigger. Has this hard drive been reformatted as drivespace creates another compressed drive sort of. So what are you booting from on this computer? It would appear to me that you have a version of Windows already installed so that you can run software which will run the Zip disk software and trying to install from software on the Zip disk. Please excuse me if I am wrong. |

| 417278 | 2006-01-02 07:23:00 | Well I'd love to know how to use DrvSpace for disk compression to get enough space to install windows and I'm booting the win95 startup disk and using the Iomega DOS zip driver. I have transfered the win95 setup files from CD to zip disk because the laptop has no cd drive. :) |

"Luckily, EIDE makes it a lot cheaper to make enormo drives. That's why PCs have started to appear on shelves with 750MB to 1GB hard drives (which cost no more to manufacture than a 240MB drive did a year ago: a new 850MB EIDE drive will sell for about $490 ex GST; a new 1.3GB drive about $650 ex GST." |

| 417282 | 2006-01-02 09:22:00 | Whats wrong with DOS? I mean, you're not going to fit much in the way of windows applications on what remains of the disk. Plus it'll be much faster. Don't be afraid of DOS, its a wonderful thing. |

| 417284 | 2006-01-02 09:38:00 | Do a search on "95lite". It is a custom installer that will install Windows 95 with minimum options - cuts some of the bloat and leaves out Internet Explorer stuff. |

I'm a bit intrigued by what exactly you are trying to do. Win 95 will install on an 80 meg drive with no problems. Are you trying to instal an expanded copy off another disk? Or are you trying to copy from another installation. Why do you want to use drivespace? Is the disk you are trying to install to formatted? |
