Here is the situation, there is an old computer my neighbor wants to reformat and re-install windows 95. Fine. Said there mightbe problems in the boot record (virus) and so I fdisked, reformatted. Copied cabs over to the HD and then ran setup like normal. Then it tells me that there is a compression software on it and setup cannot continue. I fdisked again, no luck. I even put in another 1.6 gb hd and it stil said the same error message, though this was a blank HD i had lying around and had never been connected to the computer until now. SO this makes me think it doesn't have to do with the HD since it had the same problem with both HD even after fdisking and re-formatting.
My question is: Has anyone seen an error like this before and how do I get rid of it so I can install windows?
