Windows 3.1 - 95 - 98 - Me White Papers
Making a Win95 Bootdisk
Overview
The first thing you must understand is what operating system to use to create your new boot disk. Computers cannot read the future. What I mean is, if you use a Win98 boot disk to SYS a drive, (to make a hard drive bootable) and then try to install any version of Win95 it will fail with a very weird error! (I can't remember the exact error, something about a compressed drive when there isn't one). Here's the rule of thumb...
Any DOS boot disk (my favorite is MS DOS 6.22) is perfect for ALL versions of Win9x. Win95 OSR1.0 or OSR1.5 is good for all versions of Win9x. Win95 OSR2.0 is good for OSR2.0 and newer. In short, you can use an older boot disk on a newer O.S., but you can't use a newer boot disk on an older OS.
