How To Install Windows 95 Using Cd Covers

2020. 2. 21. 08:29카테고리 없음

I just happen to have an archive file that has the individual floppy disks for windows 95 on it Now I formated 13 floppies to 1.72 mb (all except the install disk which has to be 1.44). The problem is when I use Win Image to make the disks, the install runs, asks me for the second disk, loads up until the screen where it asks me what kind of install to perform. Regardless of what I asnwer, I always get the error 'cannot read windows 95 setup disk'. I also tried the simple drag/drop of the files of the second disk, but no avail. How can I make these floppies work? Thanks in advance.

Win95 did come on 13 floppies. I have the.IMA's to prove it.CAB compression is great. CDG, Can't help ya with the problem since when I originally installed 95 back in the day on my brand new 486DX4100 I had the CD. When I did play around with the floppies I believe I just copied them to the HD and installed from there. Your right tho. The first floppy is formatted normally whereas the res of 'em are 1.72.

It's been awhile since I played around with those strange formatting methods.mabye a different DMF format needs to be used? Originally posted by CDG: I'm using windows 95 due to low processor power, otherwise I would try to leap to 98.

If this does not work I'm just going to settle down with 3.1, but I ain't beat yet!! After a quick look at your history, I thought you were referring to the P2 366 system, which should be able to run Win2k without a problem. Now I see you're talking about a 33 MHz CPU. In which case, I say 'put down the ginormous pocket calculator, and get a real PC'.

I've literally thrown away better systems. Post a WTB in the Agora, I'm sure someone can send you a far-less-ancient PC for the price of shipping.

Not many modern programs will run on Win95 (let alone 3.11). Originally posted by CDG: put windows 95 so I can get internet access on it, maybe even TCPIP networking. Any thoughts? Yes, but they consist mostly of phrases such as 'antispyware+win95=no y0u!'

, 'unpatched security holes', and 'borged spam relay'. Seriously though, if it can run Win95, it can run 98 or NT4; Win95 is not the only option. I had a friend in college who used Win98 on a 486. Couldn't do much more than web browsing, network share browsing, and mp3s, but it worked fine for that. Some sort of slimmed-down Linux distro might be a possibility as well, if you're interested in playing with that (ancient hardware is supported pretty well in Linux for the most part). At any rate, if you still insist on win95, I'll stop trying to dissuade you and say 'good luck'. While I know my laptop meets 98 system requirements for RAM, HD, the 33 mhz will not pass the processor tests- you need a 66mhz 486DX (math copro vs SX with no math copro, probalby for other reasons too though).

A 33mhz 486sx will not work with 98- believe me, although I love the old and strange, I never cared much for windows 95 due to the constant problems I had with it (it was on my first computer- the family computer still had windows 3.1 on it with Tabworks) Anyways I appreciate the suggestion of 98, but I know it doesn't work. As for linux, I plan on switching the computer to Mulinux (I have already done so but I want something I can use between now and the summer, so I reformatted to windows). X window runs pretty slow though with any kind of GUI. At first I would decompress the disk archive, and inject the files onto the image, and use the 'format and write to disk' function to make the 1.72 disks.

My second install attempt, I used a program (maxformat??) or something to format the disks to 1.72, than dragged and dropped using windows explorer. My primary system that I'm writing with uses windows ME, since 1.72 isn't supported by XP. Are there any other image writers?

Also, could this be related to the fact that disk 2 has a prcopy file and a win95 CAB file on it?

Thanks in advance MAXI Disk can handle the format of the floppies Disk ONE: Deltemp Dossetup Extract Mini PreCopy 1 Readme Save32 Scandisk Scandisk Scanprog Setup Setup Smartdrv Wb16off Winsetup Xmsmmgr Disk TWO: Precopy2 Win9502 Disk THREE: Win953 The rest of the cabs are one per disk and in numerical order.

Ok, latest update- all of the cab files were extracted to my hardisk into a directory. The problem is that when I run setup from that directory, it asks for disk 2. When I hit enter, it cannot find the files that were extracted from the disk 2 cab file.

I am sure that I have both the prcopy and the win9502 files extracted to that directory. I have all of the setup files in that dirctory.

I have every other cab file extracted into that dirctory. Any thoughts? I can't simply use teh copy command since the disks are 1.72 DMF format which Dos doesn't understand, and I can't fit the CAB files onto a 1.68 format, and I can't format to 2.88 because I don't have any computers with disk drives to do that.

What I suspect I might need is a way to repack the files using a DOS or windows 3.1 program. I do have windows 3.1 on the machine.

Setup is expecting the cab files and errors out when it doesn't find them. You might want to compare the date/time/sizes of the files that you have with what MS says they are supposed to be. The links below cover all of the disks for 95a including the contents of cab files. Repacking the files you have extracted from the cabs will fail; setup is looking for the cab files. You will get farther if you extract the cabs from the images and repack them in to archives that will fit on a 1.44 floppy.

You should be able to do this with winrar or the dos version. Awhile back I remember installing 95 inside VPC/Vmware. When it finished installation for it's first reboot, instead of continuing the installation I booted into DOS and noticed that I could continue installation myself when I wanted. All of the files were already decompressed from the CD/Floppy and I believe all I had to do was execute DOSX.EXE to continue the setup process.

This was quite awhile ago and I haven't verified what I did but this could probably help. If you installed 95 under VPC, test out what I said actually works and that you could continue installation by running DOSX. Then you could back up the uncompressed 95 files to floppy, copy back to laptop, then run DOSX from your laptop.

Then you shouldn't have to worry about installation discs. IIRC, installing Windows ME you can bypass the processor check dunno if 98 had something similar or even if it complains. Heck, on a 33mhz proc you'd need to run Winlite and use the 95 explorer anyways.at least that's what I needed to do for good performance on 66/100mhz machines. If you do give up on Win95, try out NT3.51/4 if you can. Much better than 9x. Hmmm, still not working out.

It gets to the same point in the setup and tells me it can't read the setup disk. The time says 10:50a instead of 9:50a which could be my problem. Another suspect is my bios, but I doubt that since I think it just wouldn't read the disks in the first place if that was the case. Can I alter the time? Otherwise I cannot find program services to update my bios with, so any help with that from anybody might also be appreciated. Do the file sizes match? You can use touch to change the date/time; a dos version is available below.

From 'To change dates & times on files Unix lovers have Touch. PC Magazine came out with a TOUCH utility for DOS in 1988 that does just that. The 3K zip file touch.zip contains the original 1988 version as well as a newer version, corrected for a Y2K problem, touchpcn.exe, which was emailed to me by Bill Godfrey.'

Hmmm, I know win95 has a minimum requirement of a 386sx processor, which would mean around 25 mhz, so my processor is not an issue here. I will try touching the times on the files to see if that helps (assuming I can figure it out since I'm not very good at DOS) I will look into NT since I hadn't even considered it until now. My reading indicated that 98 Will NOT install on anything lower spec than a 486DX 66 mhz processor.

Of course, thats what microsoft says anyway. DosFreak, I think you might be on a different level than I am interms of DOS knowledge. It appears as if the Precopy2 file is 19 bytes different than the one on the website, and it appears as if all of the files were made 07-11-95 at 10:50a. I am attempted to touch the CAB files to 9:50a, but setup still would not work. Anybody know where I can dig up winlite? I did look into that, but I can't find it anywhere.

Was windows NT 3.5 or 4 ever on floppy? As of right now I'm going to attempt to get the cab files off of my Companion disk onto floppies and get THOSE files onto my laptop, just to be sure that the pirated version that I'm attemting to use is not bad.

Odd that your files are 10:50. My Win95 floppies have a date time stamp of 7-11-1995 @ 9:50AM.

Precopy1.cab = 484,352 bytes just like the MS site. I'll check my CD ver and see what the stamp on those is. IIRC, NT3.51/4 only came on CD. As you've said it does appear that your ver is probably corrupted.

Hopefully your other ver will work. Go here for 98lite: Been forever since I used it. IIRC, 98lite heh only works for Win98. Dunno if there's a 95lite equivalent. Finally, can the processor in that laptop be upgraded? You can probably stick a DX4 in there depending on the type of mobo. Mabye an overdrive cpu or something.

In fairness, I have had copies of windows 95 and 98 work perfectly; copy proctection was not as good in those days, and for 95 it was non existent. 98 will burn as long as you burn it on the slowest setting. Proc is hardwired to the mobo, I already looked into that (wouldn't a 133 overdrive kick ass in that though?) I apologize that you didn't get the wink, mil.420, but I do appreciate your assistance. Who the hell just has archives of neatly sliced windows 95 diskettes anyway? I got the copy from a friend who got it from god knows where.

You could be jumping the gun too, considering that 95 is known to throw a hissy fit when installing in these older thinkpads. I'm going to 'steal' my friend's toshiba with inverted display that he doesn't use anymore and try to install my copy of windows 95 on that. If it works, I know its my hardware, if it doesn't, I'll know its my copy. Or maybe I won't KNOW, but I'll have a better idea. Otherwise my other thought is since I have a parallel port tape drive, I will have my other friend who has 95 on his old computer do a tape backup, and attempt to 'restore' his computer into my laptop.

I have not looked at the software for the backup, and don't know if that will be possible. Thanks DosFreak, I will look into the winlite deal- I thought the whole project had gone under due to the lack of resources on Google. Anyway thanks everybody, and if you get some inspiration as to what could be the problem, lemme know, either PM or post here.

Warning We do not recommend using a threaded MPM in production with Apache 2. Use the prefork MPM, which is the default MPM with Apache 2.0 and 2.2. For information on why, read the related FAQ entry on using The is the most authoritative source of information on the Apache 2.x server. More information about installation options for Apache may be found there.

The most recent version of Apache HTTP Server may be obtained from, and a fitting PHP version from the above mentioned places. This quick guide covers only the basics to get started with Apache 2.x and PHP.

For more information read the. The version numbers have been omitted here, to ensure the instructions are not incorrect. In the examples below, 'NN' should be replaced with the specific version of Apache being used. There are currently two versions of Apache 2.x - there's 2.0 and 2.2. While there are various reasons for choosing each, 2.2 is the current latest version, and the one that is recommended, if that option is available to you. However, the instructions here will work for either 2.0 or 2.2. Obtain the Apache HTTP server from the location listed above, and unpack it.

/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl stop. Now, configure and build PHP.

This is where you customize PHP with various options, like which extensions will be enabled. Run./configure -help for a list of available options. In our example we'll do a simple configure with Apache 2 and MySQL support. If you built Apache from source, as described above, the below example will match your path for apxs, but if you installed Apache some other way, you'll need to adjust the path to apxs accordingly. Note that some distros may rename apxs to apxs2. Cp php.ini-development /usr/local/lib/php.ini You may edit your.ini file to set PHP options. If you prefer having php.ini in another location, use -with-config-file-path=/some/path in step 5.

If you instead choose php.ini-production, be certain to read the list of changes within, as they affect how PHP behaves. Edit your httpd.conf to load the PHP module. The path on the right hand side of the LoadModule statement must point to the path of the PHP module on your system. The make install from above may have already added this for you, but be sure to check. Service httpd restart Following the steps above you will have a running Apache2 web server with support for PHP as a SAPI module. Of course there are many more configuration options available Apache and PHP. For more information type./configure -help in the corresponding source tree.

Apache may be built multithreaded by selecting the worker MPM, rather than the standard prefork MPM, when Apache is built. This is done by adding the following option to the argument passed to./configure, in step 3 above.

With-mpm=worker This should not be undertaken without being aware of the consequences of this decision, and having at least a fair understanding of the implications. The Apache documentation regarding discusses MPMs in a great deal more detail. Note: The discusses using multiviews with PHP.

Note: To build a multithreaded version of Apache, the target system must support threads. In this case, PHP should also be built with experimental Zend Thread Safety (ZTS). Under this configuration, not all extensions will be available. The recommended setup is to build Apache with the default prefork MPM-Module. When I upgrade to apache 2.2, this: AddType application/x-httpd-php.php5 AddType application/x-httpd-php.php42 AddType application/x-httpd-php.php4 AddType application/x-httpd-php.php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php.php AddType application/x-httpd-php.phtm AddType application/x-httpd-php.phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php.asp.does not worked for me, so I did this: SetHandler application/x-httpd-php Another interesting point with Apache 2.2 is following. Let suppose we installed PHP as module. But for some directory, we need to use PHP as CGI (probably because of custom configuration).

This can be done using: SetHandler none AddType application/x-httpd-php-custom.php Action application/x-httpd-php-custom /cgi-bin/php-huge Note type must be different than 'application/x-httpd-php' and also you need to deactivate the handler on sertain extention. You can do mixed configuration: SetHandler none AddType application/x-httpd-php-custom.php Action application/x-httpd-php-custom /cgi-bin/php-huge in such case files like.php5 and so on will be parsed via module, but.php will go to php-huge executable. Hi too had same problem with multiview like when i execute it used to compile but when i use it wouldnt recognise it as php file. I worked it out with the addhandler method and AddType in different line and setting multiview for directive 'multiviews Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews' the directives u can set it to root directory so now when u type pn test it will search in precendence for test.php, test.html if any.

Its working for me with apache2.0.47 and php 4.3.9 on solaris praveen. On 64-bit Fedora systems (I'm using Fedora 14), configuring PHP to use the MySQL libraries installed as part of the distribution gives the following error if you follow the default instructions in this manual. Cannot find libmysqlclient under /usr Modifying he following invocation of configure as follows:./configure -with-apxs2=/path/to/apxs -with-libdir=lib64 -with-mysql should work.

Note the addition of -with-libdir=lib64 This points the configure script to look for 64-bit mysqlclient libraries. For slackware 10.2 users with apache2, mysql5, and trying to install php5: when following the directions above, after this step:./configure -with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs -with-mysql i kept getting this error: 'Unable to find MySql header files.' The only way i could get php5 with mysql support was to compile MySql5 from source, and not use the binary as the mysql site recommends. Then i was able to./configure successfully, but for some reason php was configured to compile the CGI version. So, had to use this./configure line:./configure -with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs -with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql -disable-cgi alternatively, you could install php4 which does bundle the MySql client files. I have successfully installed Apache 2.2.11 and PHP 5.2.8 under Red Hat 9.0 on a Pentium 166 with 32 MB of RAM.

While I used RH9, the worst possible case, these notes are probably good for RH-based distributions too (Red Hat Enterprise, Fedora, CentOS.) If you want to install MySQL, it needs to be installed before PHP because PHP requires some libraries be available. One think important when picking up a binary distribution of MySQL is to download all four packages: MySQL-server, MySQL-devel, MySQL-client and MySQL-shared. Note: The MySQL was bundled with PHP 4 but is not anymore in PHP 5. Then you need to install Apache before PHP, because again PHP needs some libraries be available. I installed Apache 2 from source, using the very last version available, which is 2.2.11. I installed PHP 5.2.8 from source. Here, I had a number of problems, but none which I could not resolve easily, some of them with a little help from different forums I found through Google.

Rembember: When it says you need a package named xyz and you notice there is also one named xyz-devel, grab it. Most of the packages I got from: A similar page exists for other versions of Red Hat and: This site has an updated version of some of the packages. Make sure to use only the one labeled for you version (in my case, Red Hat 9.0) or it will not likely work. You already have glibc and glibc-common installed, but you need to get glibc-devel and glibc-kernheaders. Make sure to match glibc's version (rpm -q glibc). Note: When it says kernel-header is a required dependency, that's glibc-kernheader (not kernel-source).

You will also need binutils (no need to match the version), and gcc and cpp (version must match). You need zlib-devel (zlib is probably already installed, match the version you have). If you install the GD extension, the actual library is already bundled with PHP 5 (use that one, they have done some changes in there, so don't upgrade), but you will need to install libpng and libpng-devel (match version, or disable in configure if you don't want) and libjpeg (no -devel with that one). You will also need libxml2.

Now there were a problem, because PHP requires libxml2 be 2.6 or greater, but Red Hat only supplied 2.5.4-1 for RH9 (if you have a more recent distro, you might be more lucky). After looking for a while, I decided to grab the source code for the most recent distribution at the official website and compiled.

Hope my post is useful to someone. Please, share your experience when compiling/installing for your particular platform and setup. Remember how hard it's been for you the very first time.

I confess, my very first server installation took me nearly a week and I was glad others helped me. Building PHP 5.x with Apache2 on SuSE Professional 9.1/9.2 SuSE uses a rather fragmented set of Apache configuration files stored in /etc/apache2/. When you configure PHP 5.x with: $./configure -with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2 $ make everything builds just fine; but when you issue: $ su -c 'make install' the unconventional Apache conf file layout confuses the install-sapi section of the Makefile and the process halts with the following error: apxs:Error: Config file /etc/apache2/httpd2-prefork.conf not found. Make:.

install-sapi Error 1 At this point only the PHP SAPI library has been copied into place; the rest of the files (like PEAR scripts, PHP-CLI, etc) have not been installed. But never fear! You can overcome this problem with the following steps: 1. Edit Makefile and change the following line to remove 'install-sapi': installtargets = install-sapi install-cli install-pear install-build install-headers install-programs 2.

Issue the make install command again: $ su -c 'make install' 3. Add the PHP module & type instructions to the Apache configuration. As root, create a new file, /etc/apache2/conf.d/php5.conf that contains the following lines: LoadModule php5module /usr/lib/apache2/libphp5.so AddType application/x-httpd-php php - And that's it. Everything else is just as the documentation suggests it should be. To install mysql and mysqli with PHP5 do the following: after doing:./configure -with-mysql=/path/to/mysqlconfig -with-mysqli=/path/to/mysqlconfig do this: ' if you want to use both the old mysql and the new mysqli interface, load the Makefile into your editor and search for the line beginning with EXTRALIBS; it includes -lmysqlclient twice; remove the second instance ' then you can: make make install. Pleasse note: you must have mysql-dev installed (RPM or source) or you will not have the mysqlconfig file at all.

The standard, server, and client installations of MySQL do not include it. I read somewhere that the mysql and mysqli paths must be identical.
