   When you say "it faisl to start os", what do you mean?  Does the PC   
   get to showing something like   
   A:>   
   on the screen?   
      
   If so, the os is working.

   Are you sure?  Have you looked at the CD using Win Explorer on another   
   PC?  setup.exe files should be in the root directory and in the \win95   
   folder.

   With that floppy you made from bootdisk.com, when you get the A:>   
   prompt you have to give instructions to start the setup program (which   
   is a little different to the Windows boot up floppy).  At the A:   
   prompt, enter   
   R:\setup   
      
   Let us know what happens.  R: should be the letter for the CD drive   
   when using the bootdisk.com floppy
