Installing Windows 95

Once the drive container is created, the next step is to install the Windows 95 operating system in it. You can think of a new drive container as a formatted hard drive that needs an operating system in order to be a startup disk. You need to install Windows 95 before you can install any applications. Find the Microsoft Windows 95 CD-ROM Setup Boot Disk and Microsoft Windows 95 CD that came with your PC Compatibility Card and follow these steps:

Note: Your PC Compatibility card came with two different Windows 95 CDs. Make sure to use the CD labeled Microsoft Windows 95 and not the one labeled Microsoft Windows 95 Starts Here/How & Why.

1Open the PC Setup control panel and click “Switch to PC.”

The Mac OS desktop disappears. (If you set up a dedicated monitor for the PC environment, the image on the Mac OS monitor dims.) The PC environment starts up and you see a message about a Non-System disk or disk error. This message indicates that the PC has started up and not found any operating system.

2Insert the Microsoft Windows 95 CD-ROM Setup Boot Disk into the disk drive.
