Installing Windows95 on a Compaq 486DX 3

by moblack . Updated 25 years, 6 months ago

I am tring to install Windows 95 on an old Compaq Deskpro XE 450. I got it with Windows 95 installed on a 250MB hard drive with 16megs of memory. I upgraded the memory to 32megs and the hard drive to 2.5 gigs. I also installed a cd-rom drive. My problem is that I installed Windows 95 initially and later was asked to try and put Windows 98 on it. I couldn’t get Windows 98 installed and now I can’t get Windows 95 install. The systems hangs up on the “copying files for windows setup” line after it does a registry scan. What do I need to do?
