Problems With putting Windows '95 on a Floppy?

Question

Hi, I have a windows '95 computer with windows 2000 Professional on it. I recently downloaded a copy of windows '95, for some reason, and I want to put Windows '95 on it. So I got a copy of Magic ISO, and tried to put it on a floppy, but the program will not put it in ISO format. I have tried to extract it to the floppy, but the computer will not boot of of it. How do I do this, or are there any recommended programs out there for floppy?

Thank you.

Eric

Answer 1

the1 floppy is too small to contain win95. it takes at least 11 floppies.. windows 95 is obsolete anyway. you will be better off with win2000.

.iso images are made to be burned to a cd or dvd..

Answer 2

Windows 95 is to big for a floppy disc.

Answer 3

Windows 95 is to large to put on a floppy.  You will need to put it on a CD if you have a CD burner on that computer.  If not use a newer computer to put the Win 95 onto a CD.

Answer 4

As other posters have said the Windows 95 operating system is to big a file for one floppy disk.

You can create an iso image file or even a .rar file (zip file - compressed) and "split it" onto several floppy disks, but this is a really time consuming and useless task.

You can burn it to a CD on another computer, but to install it back on the older computer you will need a Windows 95 floppy boot disk, as back in yester year you can't boot a computer on a Windows 95 CD-Rom like you can today with XP CD-Roms etc.

The latter is the way to go if you really must do it. Burn it on to a CD, if you can, and then download a Windows 95 OEM boot disk from

but personally I'd leave well alone!
