Anyone have Win 95 on 3.5" floppies?

[Ghosth]

Have a friend with a laptop thats currently defunct. He needs to reload his OS, (windows 95) but can't do a reformat as it has no CD player. IE can't load it fro m cd rom.

Hes looking for a copy of Win 95 on floppies.

Anyone?

I'll check when I go home for lunch

does he, or can he get, a network card ?
that'd be easier...

[Eagler]

13 upgrade disks, copy of window 3.1 disk 1 & a win95 emergency disk

will that work?

All here...
Do you think he likes a finnish version of Win 95 ?

copy the .cab files to a directory on his hard drive (or disks) from your cdrom then run setup from the harddrive.

Destination is a laptop, cables on his HD are different than mine.

IE was first idea I thought of  

Win 31, hmmm don't think that will do.

Finnish version, LOL thanks Harppa, but I doubt he'd be pleased.

Problem with the network card is there is no existing OS that will run it.

Could possible do it by loading dos 6, & then network it together, but thought that seemed like a long ways around.

Most comp stores (ones that sell parts anyways) wll have an adapter for these.  The laptop hard drives have four extra pins which are for power.

if you want mine, just give me an address to ship them to

the wife is shipping it out today

cheap solution: use a parallel port cable to transfer data from another computer.

btw, I have an old laptop with CD-Rom but the floppy drive is broken.

[Ghosth]

Eagler, have 3 copys of dos here, np on that end.

Sure I can't send you a quart of homebrew by way of thank you?
