looking for win95 floppies!

[jackofalltrades]

I know you might not believe this but I need a set of install floppies for an old dell lattitude laptop.

you might not believe it, but I have 2 OEM boxes of floppies for win 95.

I am not sure where they are but I do have them.

I was given them 10 years ago when a business was upgrading everything.

making an old, useless laptop into an old, useless laptop that uses electricity? 😉

and do yourself a favor and edit/remove the email address. posting something like that in a public forum is often considered unwise

That's what PM is for.

Yeah I removed the email address but what is the worst that could happen? Junk mail?

Isn't that enough? ;^) If you get on the wrong list you can get spammed to death and have to bail on the mail account. Another problem, though probably not as much of a concern here, is harassment by kiddies that get your address. People can be blocked though it can be a great pita keeping up with someone intent on mischief.

Please, for the love of God, just give up and have a beer!!! It's not worth it pulling out the old floppies!!

You'll get to disc #29 and find out that it has 2 bad sectors and the whole installation will fail. Happens every time.

I know it hardly seems worth the effort but it works fine and I was going to give it away That is if I can get an OS installed.

Do you have a usb port? Maybe you could use that to get Win95 or maybe a lightweight Linux on there.

 

[jackofalltrades]

no usb port available its an old laptop.
