pieced together parts from your various videos and was finally able to get windows 95 installed and running whilst circumventing the 504MB fdisk limit. thanks
highlights included:
- limited info in bios regarding to hdd, set to standard ide from eide
- fat16 format using the WD ODD
- msdos install disk from your site
- a 4GB CF-IDE win95 installed hdd to keep swapping whilst making modifications (weirdly it got FAT32 partitioned correctly?!)
- a windows 98se startup disk i luckily had laying around
- mscdex and emm386 file etc placements using your ms dos 7.1 video
- LASTLETTER=K in config.sys (now have access to cd-rom, setup w95 from there)
- delete autoexec.dos and config.dos from c:\
- and finally to remove the vfat error: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000366.htm
complete pain in the ass. logic behind it all. was worried about the disk thrashing on CF and wanted more space
