Problem Installing Windows 95 (yes, I Know What You Are Thinking)

Hi,

I have been asked to install Windows 95 on a desktop and am having some difficulty. Installation stops at scandisk and I get an ‘out of memory” error. After exiting scandisk I then get ‘memory allocation error’, ‘Cannot load COMMAND, system halted’ error. I have tried several things including using fdisk to format fat16 on primary and selecting ‘no’ to ‘enable large hard disk’. Where am I going wrong?

Gateway 300C with 80gb HDD and 512mb ram. I have an original 95 install disk and downloaded a 95 startup diskette I found online.

 

Have a look here.
