I need to put windows on a old laptop, it has only a floppy drive...

Borrow a parallel zip drive, beotch! Don't you dare waste your time on 75 floppies.

which version of windows?
if it is higher than say 95B putting it on floppys will take half a lifetime to complete..
or you could find windows 95A floppy images somewhere..

winzip everything into 1.44mb volumes. you'll probably end up with a hundred disk if you're talking about win9x. each volume would fit perfectly on a disk. copy it all to the laptop and unzip it back. set aside a weekend to accomplish this task

hmm. i guess that is bad idea. i guess i should just buy a adapter to hook the hard drive up to my desktop computer its only $3.65 Text

oh yeah, the original win95 (before win95A) came on a cd or correct me if im wrong 22 floppies.

or you could buy windows 3.1 or 3.11 from me, complete with COA for the low low cost of $1+shipping


hehe

how to put windows cd on floppy disks

Get a pair of scissors
Use the scissors to cut square holes in the floppy disks -- Be neat! these are your windows
Use a black "laundry marker" to put the letters "C" "D" on the back side of your disks

Voila! Windows CD on floppy disks!

hahaha

I would think doing a network transfer would be the easiest

I got a copy of Win95 w/o IE on exactly 13 floppies.

It was always a b!tch to install

Best is net transfer if the laptop have net access, other wise check out serial cable, or unmount the hdd and install it on a desktop puter to copy the cab files over. I can remember the erlly version of Win95 was 15~17 floppy disks, Win95b or 98 could be over 20 disks.
