Hello,

First format a floppy in Win95 and set it to copy the system files. If not, you can make a startup disk in the control panel. Copy the mscdex.exe to the a:\ drive. After preparing the hdd to install Win95, copy the mscdex.exe file to the c:\ drive and if your cd-rom drive came with an installation disk for the cd-rom drive, run the install program and when it prompts you for the location of the mscdex.exe file, enter c:\. Reboot and assumming that all has gone well, proceed to install Win95.

I hope this helps.
