I have an old computer that has a Windows 95 OEM CD and a recovery CD. Unfortunately I misplaced the recovery CD and want to install Windows 95. Is there any command lines or procedure to run setup from an OEM CD?

It should be bootable still. Put the CD in and turn the computer on. Or else try "setup" or "windows" from the command prompt after using a bootup disk.

Go to any windows98 computer.

Put a blank floppy in the drive.

Go to control panel - add remove programs.

Go to create a startup disk.



Put the floppy disk in and boot off it (May need to go in bios and change A drive to first).

When it asks if you want CD-ROM support, say yes.

After it loads, type "format c: /q"

After that is done, "d:" to get to your CD-Rom, and just run setup.exe (There is another one in the win95 folder also).
