can't load newer version win95
I attempt to load my cd-rom version of windows 95 but can't.
I tried the autorun and it goes through the wizard, then I am presented with a message: "Warning SU0168 Your computer has an operating system installed which cannot be upgraded (to this newer cd-version) of setup. Please obtain the windows 95 upgrade."
The whole disk then shuts down.
I also tried from DOS, without success.
I presently use a backup of the preinstalled system which is not complete since there was a problem with the system when the backup was made. The problem was rectified but unfortunatly software preinstalled or not was not covered.
Cannot load from format disk,then install cd-rom (another problem for another day)as I load cd-rom driver but not recognized by cd player so must work with present backup system.
System: bondwell 6150 mpc
686

Thanks in advance,

Thanks, this is the best answer I have gotten so far. Since I cannot load from cd-rom,if I format the hd, I will try and rename the above.
Again, Thanks,

I am not sure if the renaming will work, as I have only worked with this sort of problem by reformatting the HDD and backing up all data. I know Windows searches for some certain "system" files to know if there is another OS on the PC already. I know those are crutial system files, so try renaming or deleting those, but other than that, I'm not sure what else it could be looking for. I wish you luck!
