Booting Win 95 from Floppy

I have Windows 95 on floppy "13 disks" and I am trying to boot it on to my HP Omnibook 2000ct.  I have run Fdisk and removed the active dos drive partition and realized that I need a version of dos installed before I can continue. I have a copy of all the files from Dos 5 and I need to know how to load enough Dos to start Win 95 setup and get this thing going?  

Thanks  Bruce

Icefish,

The 13 diskette set contains a boot disk. On that boot disk you will find the appropriate Fdisk and Format utility for the Windows 95 diskette version.

Use that boot disk to prepare the partition and then format it, and then continue on with the installation.
