417266 2006-01-02 04:20:00 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.

417271 2006-01-02 06:22:00 Found them:

Win95 Classic = 41 MB
Win95 OSR2 = 93 MB

I must have OSR2.

417273 2006-01-02 06:36:00 The old broken AST it came from had about 25mhz, 11mb ram, 640x480 colour monitor thats about all I know. The current laptop it's in has about 90mhz 20mb ram 800x600 colour monitor and the old 80mb hard drive. Sam W (9332)
417274 2006-01-02 06:43:00 yeh 95A is TINY........about 1/3 of the size of 95c and would EASILY fit on a 80mb drive drcspy (146)
417275 2006-01-02 06:54:00 I don't suppose it's possible to extract 95a from c with a modified setup program or something? Sam W (9332)
