The Windows 95 Create System Disks utility, which creates a complete set of Windows 95 Setup Disks, is designed for use with 1.44-megabyte diskettes. Do not use 120-megabyte diskettes. If you create a Windows NT repair disk, use a 1.44-megabyte diskette. A 120-megabyte diskette will not boot correctly. Installing or Restoring Windows 95 If you try to install Windows 95 from retail diskettes, or to restore Windows 95 from backup system disks created with the Create System Disks utility, at some point the system will be unable to find files on drive A. At this point, you must specify that the diskettes are in drive D. After the Windows 95 installation is complete, you need to reinstall the LS-120 device drivers. These drivers are available from Compaq on the Support Software CD for Compaq Desktop, Portable, and Workstation Products. Copying Diskettes Use the XCOPY command to copy 120-megabyte diskettes; the DISKCOPY command will not work with these diskettes. Formatting Diskettes 120-megabyte diskettes are preformatted, so you do not need to format a new 120-megabyte diskette before using it. However, you may use Quick Format in Windows 95 or Windows NT to erase a diskette, or, if you have a diskette that is no longer usable, you may use Full Format to reformat the diskette. High-Level Format To perform a high-level format, complete the following steps: 1. Double-click My Computer on the Windows 95 or Windows NT desktop. 2. Highlight the diskette drive. 3. Select File, Format. 4. Select Quick Format to erase a serviceable diskette or Full Format to format a damaged diskette. A Full Format will take approximately 30 minutes. Reference Guide 5-3
