Hey there, Iam new to the forum, Ive been searching for old tech knowledge and i cant seam to find a good active forum so iam hoping someone can help me here
in the last few years ive been collecting old tech, Ti comouters, NES, Segas, and especial pentium 2s.
i picked up a sweet HP computer with no hard drive. it turns on and functions that way.
Anyway i got a used known working hard drive and a brand new old stock copy of windows 95. i set the bios, stick the windows95 disk in and all i get is a blank screen. i can boot on a win95 boot disk but thats where my limited knowledge stops.
I guess what iam asking is do i need to install msdos first, Then windows 95?
Jeez i hope someone knows!
Thanks alot!
The HP in question
My dell Pentium 2 with voodoo3 and soundblaster. Killing doom and quake 2
