Unhappy Major Laptop Problems

Hey Guys,


Two Question I just bought on Operating System for my Laptop and i dont know how to install it. It is Windows 95 on 23 floppy disks and my laptop says booting from floppy and then from there it doesnt do anything. Question One, how do i get the setup floppy to boot up and question two is how do i get the whole operating system?


This would be huge help and I would be internally gratified.



Thanks,
Sean

Well it sounds like your doing things right.. You have to be sure to have disk1 or bootable disk in and it sounds like you do and sounds like your laptop is set to boot from floppy A: as first choice, so you may be looking at bad disk, or faulty floppy drive. Try the disk 1, bootdisk in another PC and see if it can boot from it..
