I want to make Windows 95 bootable CD. I try it same like create Windows 98. First, the CD starts successfully. But, after the first restart (to continue setup process), the Windows dont recoqnize CDROM drive, it allways requests "D:\WIN95".

Why is happen?

Thank's

To deddy

To make setup run smooth with win95 do as following:

Change Auroexec.bat to this:
Note: My path to setup folder in EasyBoot is: EasyBoot\disk1\win95 (as you can see in Autoexec.bat = “win95”).
In folder win95 I have every file from Win95-CD (cab files setup.exe and more…).
This means that you have to change win95 in Autoexec.bat to that path/folder you use (EasyBoot\disk1\”Your win95-folder”) or change name on folder to win95. It’s your decision!

MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /L:X
PATH=a:\;a:\dos;x:\
c:
mkdir option
x:
cd win95
xcopy *.* c:\option
c:
cd option
install.exe

As you can notice in Autoexec.bat I create a folder on [C:] with the name “option” (“mkdir option”). I then start installation (“install.exe”) from there. What’s the point with this? There are two reasons for this.

1. If I later install some hardware (or software) and support is needed from Win95-CD, well CD is not necessary any more, because install path is now [C:\option] so files and support is easily collected from this install directory (option) instead of CD.
2. No problems when computer reboots and continue installation.

Dear eureka,

Thank's for your suggest.
Actually, I don't like to copy win95 setup files to HDD 'cause too many time expenses to copy these files :)
I want to setup/installing Win95 direct from CDROM.
Is another method to setup Win95 without copy its setup files to HDD ?
