     When you install windows consider why you are reinstalling your OS. If you have a virus you may want to debug your hard drive first to make sure that the virus is really gone. If you just want to start over on a clean slab format is normally ok. If you have data on the drive and you can't stand to loose it (and your sure you don't have a virus) you may want to deltree the drive or delete the registry and reinstall.

 

      To install Windows 95:

     Boot to the a Windows boot disk with cdrom support.
You will be at an "a" prompt.
Type x: and hit enter (X=letter of cdrom drive)
