When reinstalling Windows 95 or Windows 98, you must also reinstall various system
software products during and after operating system Setup.
You can create backup diskettes for these products using InterSite Version Manager.
See Chapter 2, “Setting Up the Software,” for more information on using InterSite Version
Manager to create system software backup diskettes.
To install Windows 95:
1. Insert the Windows 95/98 boot diskette in the floppy disk drive.
2. Insert the Windows 95/98 CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.
3. Start (or restart) the system.
4. At the Startup Menu, select the option to install Windows 95/98.
If you are installing Windows 95 or Windows 98 on a system on which another operating
system or a previous version exists, you may have to partition and format the system’s hard
disk before installing the operating system. An option on the Startup Menu allows you to
exit to MS-DOS and use the fdisk and format commands.
CAUTION Be sure to make a backup copy of your data and/or programs before partitioning and
formatting the system’s hard disk. All data on the hard disk will be destroyed during the fdisk
and format process. Once you have completed these tasks and reinstalled operating system,
you must reinstall any application software and data that you want to use.
CAUTION Make sure that the system disk drive is partitioned and formatted with the File Allocation
Table (FAT) file system before attempting to install Windows 95/98, or the installation will
fail.
