   Installing OS

   I am trying to install 95b and have the following problem.   
      
   My original MS Win95 setup boot disk has a bad config.sys file which I   
   cannot figure out how to correct. This is the 1 and 1/4 floppy. The CD   
   appears to be ok.   
      
   So, to work around this I downloaded at the library onto a floppy a   
   startup disk from www.bootdisk.com. It has on it ...Boot95b.exe.   
   The computer now says that this cannot be run from dos!  The drive has   
   msdos 6.22 on it, thus a fat16 hd. Is this the problem? Before it got to   
   the bad file the original ms floppy  and cd were doing just fine   
   however. Didn't appear to be any problems. I guess it would have gotten   
   to the point it had to format to fat 32??   
      
   Any suggestions?  All received gratefully.   
      
   Would finding a set of Win 3.11 and installing over dos be a better   
   solution?   
      
   Thanks.  Charles Bennett
