We all know that Microsoft is not selling Windows 95 for already long time because it's really an old operating system.So unforcenately I had no other choice but to download it from the internet.I apologize in advance because I know that it's against the rules to ask things about the downloaded software,but I couldn't find the place where I can buy it.So the only way was to download Windows 95.Even then it was pretty hard to find it since there are almost no seeders lol. Anyway I downloaded Windows 95 through torrents and got 3 files: --->'boot95b.exe','WINDOWS 95 B.iso' and 'Windows 95 Boot Disk.img'. The first thing that I was gonna do is to burn the 'WINDOWS 95 B.iso' on the CD.However that image is not bootable.The file 'boot95b.exe' probably contains the files for the boot diskette,but I don't have the floppy drive in my computer.And the file 'Windows 95 Boot Disk.img' is something for what I am not really sure what it should be.Boot disk or something. My question is HOW TO MAKE THE WINDOWS 95 BOOTABLE CD SO I CAN INSTALL IT 'ONLY' WITH THE CD LIKE ANY OTHER OPERATING SYSTEM??? Do I need to put Windows 95 boot files on my CD or something like that??? If yes,how to do that so that the CD is bootable???
Here is an image of the downloaded Windows 95. I am going to assume stars has a license for windows 95, in this case it would be legal to download it, since you are paying for the license not the software itself in most ms operating systems. And i specifically remember hearing someone say (on this forum) related to one of ms's operating systems that this was the case. And im going to take a wild stab in the dark here stars, and say to try burning the boot disk and see if that works. And this may be helpfull (not read it fully myself but hell) another more important question, does your hardware have windows 95 drivers?

The thing is S.T.A.R.S for some reasons care about compatibility of the app he´s developing which to me is a nice thing but i think(Seriously S.T.A.R.S) that its not necessary anymore to care about those OS. If you take in mind how many people are really using Win95 nowdays you will realize there is probably a very small amount of persons using it and i doubt they will ever use your app so it´s useless and pointless to care about an old OS like win95 and even win98.
So forget about it and just work on your app design and rename it. Maybe this could help to change the image of it anyways what you need to install Win95 is not a Bootable CD but a Bootable floppy disk.
At least thats how we did it back in the days. If you´re using Win98 or XP you can go to your computer and right click the Floppy disk and under properties there´s a option to make a Bootable disk. Once you get it just boot your puter with it, write 'Format C:' then wait untill the process is done and use DOS to start the setup by typing the letter of your CD/DVD drive. Something like 'D:'(if your CD/DVD has the D letter) and type 'dir' to view all the files and look for the setup. If is on that path then just type 'setup' and it should start. Lol people thanks for your replies.
Hey HushyPushy I am not making the illegal thing.I have the Windows 95 license,but my dad dropped the Windows 95 CD-ROM disk years ago.All I have left is the damn book of how to use Windows 95 and Windows 95 diskette.:dead:Lol. Anyway I know how to make the bootable USB stick.I have done that a million times.But I thought it would be better if I make the bootable CD-ROM disk for Windows 95.Anyway I just made it 2 hours ago and it works! All I did is that I took the system files from the Windows 98 SE CD-ROM disk and I created an ISO file of all that system files.After that I opened that ISO file,in it I copied ALL the files from the Windows 95 ISO file that I extracted and then I saved that ISO file as 'Microsoft Windows 95.iso' and then I burned it to the CD.I restarted my computer to see if it works and the Windows 98 MS-DOS started directly from that CD-ROM disk.And now all I had to do is to type 'X: SETUP.EXE' and press the Enter button on my keyboard and the setup started!
