Re: Need help setting up multiboot with Win 95

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I received a solution to my problem. I was able to apply the AMDK6upd patch
without having to start Windows 95 and that solved my problem; Windows 95
now starts up and runs fine. Excellent!!

Kevin


downthehatch@xxxxxxxxxxxx sent me the following fix from the
microsoft.public.win95.setup newsgroup

Extract the files from AMDK6upd.exe to a bootable floppy disk by
executing
'AMDK6upd.exe /T:a:\ /C'. (Note: The switches are documented by
'AMDK6upd.exe /?').


Start Windows 95 installation following the normal procedure.


When the error occurs (usually on the first boot into Windows 95), or
the
computer fails to start Windows 95, boot machine using the bootable
floppy
created in Step 2.


Manually copy the updated driver files on the diskette to their proper
locations as indicated below:
NOTE
The Copy to This Location paths below assume that Windows 95 is being
installed in the default location (logical drive C). If installing
Windows
95 on a different logical drive, modify the paths accordingly.


File Name Copy to This Location
scsiport.pdr C:\Windows\System\IOSubsys
disktsd.vxd C:\Windows\System\IOSubsys
esdi_506.pdr C:\Windows\System\IOSubsys
hsflop.pdr C:\Windows\System\IOSubsys
cdfs.vxd C:\Windows\System\IOSubsys
vfbackup.vxd C:\Windows\System\VMM32
ios.vxd C:\Windows\System\VMM32
int13.vxd C:\Windows\System\VMM32
NOTE: The following file is needed only if the version of Windows 95
is
OSR2.1 or OSR2.5:
ntkern.vxd C:\Windows\System\VMM32


Remove the floppy disk and restart the system.


If prompted, select Normal Startup of Windows 95.


Complete Windows 95 installation procedure.


After Windows 95 is fully installed and running, execute the
AMDK6upd.exe
without any command switches to register the update.
