Top Document: Win95 FAQ Part 2 of 14: Re/Un/Installation Previous Document: 2.3. How do I install Windows 95 from... Next Document: 2.5. Can I install two separate copies of Win95? See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge
* 2.4.1. ...rebooting after first part of setup
On systems with bizarre DOS configurations, you may get a "Windows
protection error", or "This VxD conflicts with another driver already
loaded". This is because a DOS driver loaded before win.com loaded,
and a corresponding protected mode driver can't load.
To avoid this, just when the computer reboots for part two of setup,
press F8 when you see Starting Windows 95... then select Safe mode
command prompt only. From here, delete or rename your config.sys and
autoexec.bat files. Then re-boot and proceed with part two normally.
You may get this error if you use an unrecognized CD-ROM driver
(Usually the case for IDE CD-ROMs attached to PCI IDE adapters), or if
you use a DOS network driver and a Win95 net card driver tries to
load. The above technique will work around both these cases.
If you have to do this, you won't be able to configure a printer or
copy any other drivers until you finish Setup. No matter; if it asks
you for Win95 files, just cancel, and wait until Setup finishes.
* 2.4.2. ...reading disk 2
The disks come in MS's new "DMF" format, which holds nearly 2 MB on a
1.44 MB disk. The first disk is a standard 1.44 MB disk, and Setup
loads a driver to read the DMF disks.
A DMF disk can get destroyed by a boot record virus, because the virus
over-writes the DMF boot record. As a precaution, write-protect the
floppies before using them. For some really dumb reason, Microsoft
insisted on shipping the disks write-enabled.
Setup will also try to write your registration info on disk 2. If you
have the disk write protected, you can just hit "Continue" and Setup
will continue without writing to the disk. For details, read KB
article Q136111.
* 2.4.3. ..."Safe" recovery
If you re-run Setup on a bad installation of Win95, you will get a
prompt to use "Safe Recovery". This will let you either Undo the
install, or Redo the install using safer detection techniques. My
suggestion is to Undo the install, then use the technique above,
regarding Rebooting after first part of setup. Also, try
installing on a target drive with no DOS startup files (config.sys).
* 2.4.4. ...part two of setup. I can't read drivers from CD-ROM
This means Setup didn't load protected mode CD-ROM drivers for your
drive, which happens for many reasons. This will only affect your
ability to add printer drivers and setting up MS Exchange, both of
which you can skip and do later.
You should make sure, after finishing Setup, you bug the CD-ROM
manufacturer for a Win95 driver. Also check the section on SCSI
and IDE CD-ROM support.
PCI IDE or PCI SCSI adapters won't kick in until the second re-boot,
so such CD-ROMs won't work until then. Just let it finish and it will
work.
Later on, if you have to use real mode CD-ROM or net card drivers, you
can add printers and set up Exchange once you can use the CD-ROM or
network again.
* 2.4.5. ...part two of setup. I can't read drivers from the network
If you installed network support but you didn't get a network log in
at the start of part two (so you can access the file server), this
means the Win95 network support didn't install correctly. As per the
CD-ROM install, you can skip the Exchange and Printer setup until you
get the protected mode network support working.
PCI net cards won't operate at all until the second re-boot, when the
PCI Bus driver kicks in. Just let it finish and your net card will
work on the second re-boot. ISA PnP cards react the same way.
This could also mean you skipped network support to begin with, or it
could not load a network card driver. Again, you can skip the Exchange
and Printer setup until you correct this.
NOTE: There is a way to work around this minor problem; use a real
mode network client (Either netx, vlm, or Workgroup Connection for
DOS) to run Setup from, and tell it to use your Existing ODI or NDIS 2
driver. This is the default net card choice if you install from a
server-based copy. The second time it re-boots it will read your real
mode driver and add the components needed to make it work with 32-bit
network software. Finally, after you log in to the server to continue
Setup, it will detect your net card and replace the ODI or NDIS 2
support with the appropriate Win95 support.
This method of loading network support for PCI and ISA PnP cards can
produce some unusual side effects. For example, if you booted from a
floppy disk to get on the network, Part 2 of Setup will try to read
the NDIS 2 or ODI driver from the floppy disk! If this occurs you will
get a "General failure reading Drive A:" error message. When you do,
re-insert that disk and hit "Retry" so Setup will continue.
Another side effect is Win95 shutting down in the middle of a driver
file copy! To prevent this, make sure you erase this line in
msbatch.inf on the Server copy:
NoPrompt2Boot=1
This line immediately re-boots the computer after the end of all the
Setup Part 2 stuff. If you remove it, Setup will prompt you to
re-start the computer when it's all finished. You should wait until
Win95 detects and installs all other hardware before you press "OK" on
this requester. If Win95 asks you to re-start the computer at any
other time, tell it NO.
