I reinserted the boot floppy (it has to have on it) and opened C:\PISETUP\HWDETECT.bat. I ejected the boot floppy, pressed "abort" on Abort, Retry, Fail, and got to the command prompt. While being a batch noob, the stuff I did wasn't THAT hard, and I figured since I got it working, someone else who might have a similar problem might stumble upon this and get some advice.Īfter the first part of Windows setup (or Master CD restore) finishes, just before the restart, we have to get to the command prompt.

In my case, after the "thank you for choosing Packard Bell" screen, the screen pops up the upper half of the screen as seen in that vid, but then halts on a "no sound card detected, consult a technician etc." In that video, Interestingly, I found a vid online where during that second part of the installation, the video author seems to have skipped that check successfully. iso image and try to find it if I fail, I'll copy it from the PC and send the plaintext here.į8 didn't work - tried mashing it with all of my force, and nothing seems to happen because Win95 isn't fully finished installing.

The hardware check detects I have a Thousand Oaks board, and then halts on a screen about how there's no sound card detected and how I should consult a technician.Command input is disabled. However, after re-starting (as Windows 95 setup does) I'm treated to a hardware check - what?

I've managed to jump over the CD check, and jump over the tattoo number checkbox - so I managed to install a fresh copy of Win95A from the Master CD.

I managed to fix that PB 640 mobo I've posted about (rotten recovery jumper pin, what are the odds?).
