Installing Windows95 from scratch

[Computer ninny]

I've read the intructions on re-installing WIN9x from scratch.  My question is what to do when there is no HIMEM.SYS file to be copied onto my startup disk? Nor is there a MSCDEX.exe file for that matter.

Before trying this re-install, the screen in DOS mode told me that
HIMEM.SYS
DBLBUFF.SYS
IFSHLP.SYS
were all either missing or corrupted.

Is there any hope that Win95 can be re-installed?

have you tried to download a different floppy image?? there is a MILLION of them out there

have you tried to add those files yourself with winimage or whatever??

try to visit this link:
bootimages

[john0877]

is the cd bootable and does your bios support booting off of cds

No, the CD disk is having a hard time reading.

I looked at the link above for places to download a new boot up disk, so I think I'll try that.

Thank you everyone for your help.
