If you're able to, you can remove your hard drive, set it to slave and stick it in another PC long enough to copy the necessary files from cd to the hard drive and install from there. Here are the steps:
A) Remove hard drive from laptop, set jumper to "slave"
B) Add it to an IDE cable in another PC
C) Stick the win95 CD into the CD-ROM
D) Create a folder 'win95ins' (or whatever you wish to call it) on your hard drive and copy the contents of the X:\win95 folder (where X is your CD-ROM drive to your new 'win95ins' folder
E) Remove the hard drive from the PC and change the jumper setting back to master
F) Reinstall your hard drive in your laptop and then using a boot disk, reboot and change to the windows 95 installation file folder you created and run setup from there
