MS-DOS and Windows 3.11 on Zip250 Disk aka Portable OS

DIRECTIONS BELOW TO INSTALL WINDOWS 95 OR DOS AND WINDOWS 3.1/WINDOWS FOR WORKGROUPS.

Imagine, taking your OS with you without getting the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). Just plug it in the USB port of the computer and start working or having fun. This can be done with windows 95 also, but it’ll be like running it off a Tandy or old IBM!!

All you need is an IDE or USB Zip100, 250 or 750 drive and the disk. Don’t mis-match the disk or drive cause it won’t work.

If your computer can boot off the USB ports on board, then plug the drive in, insert the disk and restart your computer. Make sure you got an old Windows 95 CD + boot disk (with CD-ROM drivers), DOS 5.0, 6.0 or 6.22 disks and Windows 3.11 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11 disks.

1. Insert the boot disk (windows 95) or first DOS disk in DRIVE A: (primary floppy drive).

2. Wait till you get the prompt (DOS setup screen for DOS disk. If you don’t wanna create the undo/backup disk, exit setup and type SETUP /? and look for the option to bypass it. Run the setup program with that command. Example: SETUP /G)

3. Proceed with setup of windows 95 (you’ll know how cause I don’t have to).

4. DOS users, make sure the zip disk is detected as drive C: or you might wreck your windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP or Vista installations.

5. Ensure DOS or Windows is installed to drive C: (the zip disk).

6. Proceed with the instructions provided with setup in windows 95, DOS users will have to insert all 3 disks to complete setup and reboot their PC WITH THE ZIP DRIVE AND DISK still plugged in.

7. DOS users have to setup Windows for Workgroups/Windows 3.11 by inserting the disk in the A: (primary floppy drive) and type: A:\SETUP

8. Go through the setup with defaults, accepting the current configuration. MAKE SURE ZIP DISK IS DRIVE C:!!

9. Windows for workgroups/windows 3.11 will prompt for each disk to get to the GUI part of setup, which will allow you ease of use for the rest of setup.

10. Once you get to the GUI part of windows setup, windows for workgroups will attempt to find your network card, then show you “Select components” screen, same with Windows for Workgroups. Click OK, proced with all defaults. Once you get to the Virtual Memory screen, click CONTINUE or OK. You don’t have to install a printer, just click OK or continue if your prompted.

Once setup stops prompting you to insert disks, restart the computer and THERE YOU GO, you’ve got a portable, take anywhere Operating System.Duration : 0:3:58

Microsoft Windows 95 Sucks!

A song that tells the truth about Windows 95, you would have thought Windows would have evolved since then… Sadly Windows Vista is quite similar to this song as well.

So, it seems Windows 95 (and probably Vista) has failed.Duration : 0:2:7

Windows 95 setup :-) in 10 minutes :-)

From the Dark Ages of DOS-based Domination on PCs: setting up Windows in less than 10 minutes (only possible with Windows 95 on old computers). This is youtube-butchered version of original 30-minute VCD showing all options in details and in real-time. However, younger viewers and linux coders should take notice: it clearly show how Windoze domination in the PC World has begun, exactly with plain SIMPLICITY, that any moron could understand how to setup an operating system on his computer, and without prior reading of 100 manual pages first…Duration : 0:9:41
