   Hard Drive Crach and Windows 95   
   19 Sep 05 12:31:27   
   
   From: fjv@yahoo.com   
      
   After Hard Drive crash, and installation of another used one (formatted and   
   checked by the seller), I was not able to install the software. Bios   
   indicated that hard  drive was installed, but It would not go past "Floppy   
   A: Installed."   
   Right after that , I was getting different error messages, based on what   
   floppy disk I would use.   
   When I used original Microsoft Boot Disk, and coupe other start up floppies   
   I got:  "Disk I/O error, Replace the disk and then press any key."   
   When I used new boot floppy for W95B just downloaded from Bootdisk.com, I   
   got: either "Disk Error or Remove disks or other media. Press any key to   
   restart."   
   Any clue why? Is it the new hard drive bad floppies or what?   
      
   Please let me know. Thanks
