Hi Brandon:
I think you're going to have to buy that plug-in
floppy drive. If your computer is like my Toshiba,
the plug-in floppy drive is bootable, but beware
that some after-market plug-in floppy drives (the
kind that plug into the parallel port) aren't
bootable.
The problem is that the Win95 installation CDs had
no bootable OS on them. Even if your BIOS can
"see" the CD without special drivers, there's
nothing on that CD to boot.
Another option is to pull the hard drive out of
the old computer, put it in a working computer
as a slave drive, format and partition it, and put
enough DOS on it to get it to boot itself when you
put it back in the old computer.
