Windows 95 reinstallation
Use the following procedure to reinstall Windows 95:
1. Insert the CD-ROM Setup Boot Disk into drive A.
2. Turn on or restart the computer. The recovery program starts
automatically.
3. From the first screen, select the language of the Microsoft Windows 95
CD you are using to reinstall Windows 95. In some cases, the
instructions and messages for reinstalling Windows 95 will be
displayed in that language; otherwise, they will be displayed in U.S.
English. Select More languages for a screen of additional languages.
Note:
Make sure that the language you select is the same as the
language of the Microsoft Windows 95 CD. If you select a
different language, the recovery program might not be able to
find the necessary files on the CD.
4. From the CD-ROM Configuration Selections screen, select one of the
following options:
1. Let the recovery program find the CD-ROM driver
For this option to work, your hard disk must be partitioned and
formatted, the CD-ROM device driver must be installed on the
hard disk, and the CD-ROM device driver must be listed in the
CONFIG.SYS file on the hard disk. The recovery program
attempts to find a CD-ROM device driver (for example,
IBMCDROM.SYS or IBMIDECD.SYS) listed in the CONFIG.SYS file
on the hard disk.
If the recovery program finds a CD-ROM device driver listed in
the CONFIG.SYS file, it locates that device driver on the hard disk,
copies it to the CD-ROM Setup Boot Disk, and names the device
driver LOADSOFT.SYS.
Note:
If your CD-ROM drive requires more than one device
driver (for example, device drivers associated with parallel
ports or SCSI chains), do not use this option. In this case,
you must add the device drivers to the CD-ROM Setup Boot
Disk by using the procedure in “Method 1—Adding your
CD-ROM device driver to the CD-ROM Setup Boot Disk”
on page 27.
If the recovery program cannot find a CD-ROM device driver listed
in the CONFIG.SYS file, you are prompted to press any key to
continue; then the CD-ROM Driver List screen is displayed (this
screen is also displayed when you select 2. Select a CD-ROM
driver from the list
).
2. Select a CD-ROM driver from the list
