Still can't get Windows 95 to start with disc

    I went to BootDisk.com to get a book disk for Windows 95 because she didn't have one. So, I put the disc in and started the computer. She gets a starting screen with the bottom corner saying F2 for startup. Then it goes to a black screen that says something about I/O error and remove disc and hit any key ....which I do, but it keeps giving me the same thing. So, I took the disc out. Any suggestions from there?

    Did you run the installer that you downloaded? Or did you just copy the .exe file to the floppy disk?

    Also, is the boot order going to the disk drive first in bios?

    As far as I know it is. I copied the file onto my desktop, then double-clicked it and it saved it onto the floppy. How do I make sure that the boot order is right? I can only get into F2 to setup.
