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 Windows 95, 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, or the installation will fail.
Follow the instructions in Introducing Windows 95 to install Windows 95. As you install the
operating system:
u
Select the default responses during the Setup process.
u
Allow Setup to configure the network only if you have an installed network adapter, and
only if the system is connected to the network.
u
Create a Startup diskette when prompted.
u
While Windows 95 files are being copied to the system, you are prompted for the
Windows 95 Setup boot diskette. This occurs even if the Windows 95 Setup boot
diskette is already inserted in the floppy disk drive. Select OK to continue.
Next, you are notified that a CD-ROM driver file (such as OAKCDROM.SYS or
TAISATAP.SYS) could not be found on the Windows 95 Setup boot diskette. In the dialog
that displays, specify that the file should be copied from a:\, and then select OK.
After installing the operating system:
u
Install drivers or other system software from any backup diskettes. System software
delivered on backup diskette is usually more current than system software on the
operating system CD-ROM. Alternatively, you can install the drivers or other system
software from the Windows 95 CD-ROM if you don’t have them on diskette.
As shipped from the factory, the system’s hard disk drive contains Windows 95 Setup
files in the
C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS directory, as compressed .CAB files. If the CABS
directory is deleted from the system’s hard disk, you must have access to a Windows 95
CD-ROM to use Windows 95 Setup files.
u
Perform any additional installation and configuration tasks described in the Late-
Breaking News document delivered with your system.
u
Configure the system as described in Chapter 3, “Configuring the System.”
u
Perform any operational changes required for your system as described in Chapter 5,
“Operating Notes.”
u
You can install MS-DOS Microstation drivers, available from the Intergraph Bulletin
Board Service (IBBS).
