Long story short, after getting a Packard Bell 486 in back in running order, I finally got the CDRom to work again. In the meantime, I had loaded Windows 3.1 on the machine to be able to load some other drivers needed.
When I go to install Windows 95 through the Setup, it tells me that the computer “already has an operating system installed which cannot be upgraded by this version of Setup. Please obtain the Windows 95 Upgrade.”
Why can’t I just copy over WIndows 3.1?
Can I just delete3.1 or would I lose CDRom support?
