install win 95

[shane254]

I have an old laptop that has a 125 mb hd and it used to have win 95 but it got wiped and now I am trying to installl win 95 again and have ran into some glitches
1. the laptop has no cdrom
so I borrowed one just lone enought to copy the win95 folder off the cdrom but when I go to install it says that I am short on hd space so I guess the cab files are taking up all the space. Is there any way to compress the drive in dos any and all ideas are helpfull. oh yea buy the way I cant get the cdrom back the guy went out of town and I need to get this fixed today

I think you might have to wait for the CD drive again that way you can run the setup off the CD drive and the HDD is empty. How much space does the win95 folder take anyway? Hopefully some other members who have ran into something similar can give suggestions. Do you have a floppy drive?
