Installing Win95 - Uncompatible Media - Help!

[dygash]

Hi, l was using Windows NT Chinese Version, PIRATE CD! I will never do it again...EVER! I finally got my hands on win95 and l have created an MS DOS boot disk so that it goes to DOS on startup. I accessed FDISK and deleted all my partitions then built my primary DOS partition 20% usage, and my secondary DOS partition (100%) so that l could make my non DOS partition which allowed me to create my D drive (or just was my D drive!)...am l making sense so far? Anyway l went back to DOS and typed D:


It went to D:\ as l wanted. I then followed the manual and typed win95\setup

It came up with uncompatible media type (it was something like this something about uncompatible media) then is said

abort, retry, fail?

l am at my wits end, l dunno what to do! I could really do with some professional advice and there seem to be some experts around here so fingers crossed that l can get a helpful response soon.

Thanxs

OK. What you have done is created 2 partitions but haven't yet formatted either of them. DOS recognises a C: and D: drive but there is no file system installed.
You need to FORMAT C: \s and FORMAT D:
Then when you are ready to install Windows, (assuming you have a bootdisk that recognises your CD-Rom) you will need to run Setup from E (as c & d are now hard disks, the CD drive will have been given the next available drive letter.

Right l'll get off home (sneaked an extra hour on library comp) and try out the formatting! Thanxs for ur help!:wave:
