Hard Drives and Windows 95

by kloran-[thrawn34 . Updated 25 years, 2 months ago

Ok, I have a couple questions. First of all, I have a 1.2gb HDD that keeps formatting as a 2.0 somethign MB drive. I tried doing it in both dos and in win95, and both tell me its only that big. and doesnt give me an option to change the size. Just abad drive?

My second is this. I have a 2.0gb drive that was originally in a Mac, but I was told I could format it for a PC. Well, I have done that, and within Win95 it can read the drive… but Win95 set up wont run on it… it stops at the scan disk part, and doesnt scan the drive. Yet the computer doesnt freeze up or anything… how can I use this?

My third is, I have another 2.0gb drive that I am trying to reinstall win95 on for a client. Well, it wont install. I got the install program to run once, and after it was done… nothing was on the drive. How can I actually get it to install and run like it is supposed to?
