I bought a 755CE for my sister. It came with Win95 installed on an 810 MB single partition FAT32 drive. I wanted to give her a little more drive space, so I installed a 1.3 GB Toshiba drive with the help of a lot of people on this list. Well, now I can't install Win95 on it. I get to the welcome screen and the machine locks up tight. Here is what I have tried so far: Ran the BIOS update program first; says no update required. Booted from the Win95 TP setup disk contained in WIN95SET.EXE from the IBM ftp site. It tells me that I am ready to install Win95. Booted with Colorado Backup Win95 recovery disks and running the rescue program. Program returns the error that the tape has no data, even though I verified the backup when I created it. The tape is on a Tandberg 4220 that is attached via an Adaptec APA-1460. All appropriate PCMCIA lines and ASPI2DOS.SYS are loaded in CONFIG.SYS. Not much of a disaster recovery if you ask me. Booted with a modified CBW95 disk that does not automatically start RESCUE.COM and ran SETUP.EXE from the IBM SCSI CD attached to the Adaptec PC card (froze). Booted with a copy of the modified CBW95 disk that has been re-sysed with MS-DOS 6.2 and ran SETUP from the CD (froze). XCOPIED the CD to the hard drive and ran SETUP from a floppy boot with no CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT (froze). BTW, just which directories are required for installation? I'm about to try installing on a partitioned disk (500 MB C:, remainder as D:). If anyone has any tricks, I would appreciate knowing about them. Thanks.
