Im trying to install windows 95OSR2 on my bookPC, I tried to do it from 3 different sourses, original CD, CD-R, and from harddrive, after setup starts and i press yes or agree to the terms it crashes on the next screen, previously the HD had Windows ME but i deleted the partition and created it over again, I also tried Fdish /mbr whats wrong here?
 
Try adding the following parameters:

setup.exe /ie /im /is /iv /nr


If that fails, you may have a faulty memory module. If you have more than one, try removing one at a time and see if that solves your problem. Failing that install Win98SE 😀

Good Luck!
 
I've never heard of this! You might want to switch different comnponents in your comp! Try using a different vid card. I dont know!
 
What do you mean by "crashes"? Is there an error message? Does the mouse freeze? Does the computer stop responding for a while?
 
Have you ensured that your 'boot sector virus scanning' option has been turned off in your BIOS? I've had problems with installs in the past and this was the culprit.
 
virus scan is off
when it crashes mouse moves, KB dosent respond
cant change componets its a BookPC. I guess ill go with Win98.
 
I got it working, it sat there for about 10 min and went on to the next step, after instalation it restarted now im getting a new error while initiolaztion of Device IOS failed:
windows protection error. pleasr restart
