Installation Guide
------------------
[For Windows 95 OSR0 and OSR1]
1. Make sure there is enough space in the hard disk to store the cabinet
files and the installation programs (the required space may vary
depending on the language of Windows 95)
2. Make a temporary directory
For example, enter at the DOS prompt:
MD C:\WIN95
3. Copy all the cabinet (.CAB) files and the installation programs from
the \WIN95 directory of the Windows 95 CD-ROM to this directory
For example, enter at the DOS prompt:
COPY src_cd:\WIN95\*.* tgt_drv:\tgt_dir
Where src_cd is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive (D, E...),
tgt_drv is the driver letter, and tgt_dir is the temporary directory
that you made in step 3.
4. Insert the Windows 95 supplementary diskette into the diskette drive
and copy the updated files from the Windows 95 supplementary diskette
to the temporary directory
For example, enter at the DOS prompt:
COPY a:\OSR0INF\*.* tgt_drv:\tgt_dir
Where tgt_drv is the drive letter, and tgt_dir is the temporary
directory that you made in step 2.
5. Install the operating system to the system by entering SETUP.EXE at the
temporary directory prompt.
6. Refer to the Windows 95 documentation and the instructions that appear
on the screen to complete the installation.
7. If required, install OSR1 version available from the Microsoft Internet
home page.
8. If required, remove all the files in the temporary directory and the
directory itself after you complete the installation, to free the
space on the hard disk.
[For Windows 95 OSR2 and OSR2.1]
The Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 (OSR2) and 2.1 (OSR2.1) are available
only as preloaded versions unless you have some special license agreement
with Microsoft.
If you do not have a CD-ROM of OSR2 or OSR2.1, you should reinstall them
by restoring the original preloaded image from the Recovery CD. Refer
to ThinkPad documentation for more detail about Recovery CD.
If you have a CD-ROM of OSR2 and OSR2.1, do the following.
1. Make sure there is enough space in the hard disk to store the cabinet
files and the installation programs (the required space may vary
depending on the language of Windows 95)
2. Make a temporary directory
For example, enter at the DOS prompt:
MD C:\WIN95
3. Copy all the cabinet (.CAB) files and the installation programs from
the \WIN95 directory of the Windows 95 CD-ROM to this directory
For example, enter at the DOS prompt:
COPY src_cd:\WIN95\*.* tgt_drv:\tgt_dir
Where src_cd is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive (D, E...),
tgt_drv is the driver letter, and tgt_dir is the temporary directory
that you made in step 2.
4. Insert the Windows 95 supplementary diskette into the diskette drive
and copy the updated files from the Windows 95 supplementary diskette
to the temporary directory
For example, enter at the DOS prompt:
COPY a:\OSR2INF\*.* tgt_drv:\tgt_dir
COPY a:\CARDBUS\*.* tgt_drv:\tgt_dir
Where tgt_drv is the drive letter, and tgt_dir is the temporary
directory that you made in step 2.

temporary directory prompt.
6. Refer to the Windows 95 documentation and the instructions that appear
on the screen to complete the installation.

\QFE444\PCCARDUP.EXE
9. Reboot the system
10. To update the Unimodem drivers to support the Intel Video Phone
application, insert the Windows 95 supplementary diskette into the
diskette drive.
11. From the DOS prompt, go to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM (or the SYSTEM
subdirectory where Windows 95 is installed)
