Let's make a BOOTDISK

Hi Craig:
First, were going to make a BOOTDISK. You will need access to a working computer
with an Internet connection, and a blank 1.44MB floppy disk. Go to this site:
http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm
and download the file for the version of Windows95 you want to install. Do not put
the downloaded file on the floppy disk. Your downloaded file will be either BOOT95A.EXE
or BOOT95B.EXE, and you can put it on the Desktop, or any other convenient place
on your friend's computer. (You can delete it later).
Put your blank floppy disk in your friend's computer, and double-click on the downloaded
file you put on the Desktop. This will make a BOOTDISK out of your blank floppy
disk.
Now, put the BOOTDISK in the broken computer while the power is OFF, then turn on
the power. Watch the screen -- stuff will fly by. It should stop at "A:\>", and
if you look back UP a few lines, you should see the word "BANANA".
If all this works, chances are your CDROM does too. It will be drive "R:".
You should be able to put your Windows installation CD in the CDROM drive, and type
"R:\SETUP", and press enter. The Windows installation should begin.
If this doesn't get you started, post back here, and we'll try to figure out what's
wrong.
Good luck.
Jerry
