Installing Windows 9x
Prerequisites:
You’ll need an Emergency System Disk (create it on a computer
with the same OS, or use the bootable disk supplied with the full
version). The disk must contain at least COMMAND.COM and hidden
files, plus FDISK, FORMAT, SYS, and Edit.
Follow these steps:
1. Boot the system with the Emergency System Disk.
2. Run FDISK and select Large Drive Support if you want to
exceed 2GB per drive letter with Windows 95 OSR2.x/98/Me.
Create the partition(s) desired. The drive must have an active
partition (which will be C: and bootable) and can also have
an extended partition (D: and beyond) that can contain one
or more drives.
3. Exit FDISK.
4. Reboot the computer with the bootable disk.
5. Run FORMAT to format drive(s) created with FDISK:
FORMAT C:/S formats & copies system files to C:
FORMAT D: formats D: drive if present; repeat for
E: & others
6. Remove the bootable floppy and restart the system from the
C: drive.
7. Install the remainder of the operating system files from the
CD-ROM or Windows 95 disc; install CD-ROM drivers and
restart the system. You must provide proof of a previous OS
purchase (old Windows disks or CD-ROM) when prompted if
you are installing an upgrade version onto a blank drive.

Chapter 12—Operating System Installation and Testing
You can also use OEMSETUP from a CD-ROM (called by the
setup program on disk) if you want to automate the process
with the full (non-upgrade) version.
