Other TH-cam person:
>10min video for 30 seconds of content, with 15 adverts.
ffs
Ikr
I watched a video of a guy that was trying so hard to get a 10 minute video. He made a 5 min intro and he talked and talked and talked and finally to the tutorial. Ez 10 minute video. I would actually prefer 10 minute of Nyan cat
This was a good comment but if you want geeky nerdy stuff sent to you in a box you need loot crate make sure to use the code "fuckmeintheassandscammedaddycrate" for 1 dollar off
television and cheese ikr
Almost two hours??
We are truly blessed!
could be worse you could watch a video of someone drinking a glass of water
Raven 4096 I wasn’t being sarcastic
Keyfaze He blessed you 🙂
This is the quality content I subscribed for
pours you a glass of magical Juice enjoy :)
I love this guy ! Sitting here all the day long.
yea

Ahh Windows 95... she is a cruel beautiful beast!
She was my first
if the cpu has mmx that could be the problem
Me too
Well, I'm on a long-ass train ride today and druaga just made it absolutely enjoyable. That's why we love you mate!
Your protection error is due to the fact that windows 95 can't handle a CPU clocked at over 1 GHz. I did this same experiment years ago with my Athlon Thunderbird 1.4 GHz. I got it to work by under-clocking the CPU below that 1 GHz mark and it worked fine for me.
Win 95 OSR 2.0 / B and later have some AMD specific issues above 350MHZ if using a K6 or better chip. There is a patch for the protection mode errors, but you need to either install it with the CPU down clocked, or from DOS mode after it crashes for the first time.
^ What Jak says is true. Only thing I would add is it is indeed possible to install the patch during Windows 95 setup.... After the file copy portion and it reboots, boot into DOS and install the patch.... allow Windows 95 setup to complete w/o Windows Protection IOS errors.
This. Use FIX95CPU to make Win95 work correctly on newer processors.
use virtual machine
Farooq Ishaq how would you install an os on an ssd then?
Two things:
1) after partitioning a HDD in DOS using FDISK, you should reboot. Only then the new partitioning scheme is applied to the drive
2) you forgot to install the most important drivers, which are the VIA chipset ones. Probably that's why you're seeing IRQ and IOS conflicts because win95 has no native support for the different chipset controllers. This could explain why every time you deviate from the generic windows drivers, the reboot fails. Basically the win95 PnP/IRQ/DMA config fails because it doesn't know how to handle the chipset.
So to (hopefully) solve your issue:
fdisk the HDD, reboot
format and install win95
install chipset drivers
install the other drivers
THIS! The whole PCI PnP - "Plug and Play" was very new and often iffy at best back then. I used to almost always prefer to manually set IRQ and memory whenever given the choice. The reason it likely works after multiple soft reboots is because the PnP settings get slightly changed each time. (Never mind the network cards that were infamous for still needing reserved memory that you had to configure manually despite having setup software.) Plus, installing over an old setup was always problematic. Sometimes config or registry settings got just plain screwy, other times files that that were supposed to be identical would have different checksums. Format. Install with minimal hardware. Install motherboard drivers. Install Graphic card drivers. Then add the rest 1 by 1. The fast CPU might also be an issue, though I'm sure there was a fix for it.
I always set "PnP OS Installed" to no so the BIOS manages all the PnP devices. With new chipset drivers installed, Windows 95 generally handles hardware on later platforms completely fine.
This is a thing I loved in WIndows 98. You transplant the HDD in a new PC and it fully reconfigs the whole system after boot as long it can detect every single hardware in it with no IRQ problems. After reboot, it worked properly again as if nothing happened.
This. This is the kind of content I want to see. 1 hour and 42 minutes
THIS IS OLD DRUAGA 🎉 YEEEEY
Was thinking the same thing lol
yes
I imagine this was a HUGE! pain to edit, so thanks very much for continuing your commitment to making us all laugh.
Almost 2 hours! One of the the many reasons I subscribe and love this channel
They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. Obviously they never used win 95
you're the best druaga, been with your channel for over a year and i love every aspect of your personality and way of handling shit
nice PC videos Druaga1 keep up the great work and love all the work on pc u do because i learn stuff that i never learned from u
I thought you were building a BitCoin Mining Rig...and I would be like yelling "DON'T DO IT! DON'T DO IT!!!" As it is a waste of money. Yet it is a Win 95 build. World is safe.
I love this video
You should have narrated this whole Windows 95 tutorial in the Hank Hill Voice. "Bwwaaaa"
poundin them wires. druaga, you're a champ. surprised to see a huge vid like this! still onna my favorite channels.
I completely relate. I was laughing my ass off after you got that blue screen when you changed the Riva screen resolution. But man, great videos!
This is what we had to deal with, kids....
The Windows 95 PC has become self-aware.
should I really watch this for the third time? ok.. here we go.
Ah shit, here we go again.....
I have the Druaga binge playlist on shuffle at work every day. I've heard these videos so many times and I'm still not tired of it.
I got a rage attack half way through the video, It's been nearly 20 years since I last installed Windows 95 OSR2 but I still remember all the labyrinth solutions that it took to do this every day back then even with the era-specific hardware. Easiest solution was to have 1 bootable fat16 partition, installed by dos 6.22 diskettes (or CD image), then copy the installation files onto that partition, install 95 from the disk drive itself and then use the rest of the drive as fat32 partition if you felt lucky because 95osr2 implementation of fat32 was screwy and unreliable.
I still have nightmares about those days
Why no autoscripts to automate all of THIS were written???
The major problem with windows protection error its because your CPU clock its 1.2Ghz, anything else about 1Ghz and above can cause this on Win95.
Ah, yes, I remember the days of Windows 95 and Windows 98 well, they claimed it were the days of plug and play, but as we all realized, in fact, knew from the get go, they really were the days of:
Plug and... Pray!
Hi Druaga1, the Windows 95 had to have a AMD K6 fix patch to allow faster cpus which at the time were for 350mhz and higher K6 and K6-2 cpus. Yours is waaay faster so you still need that patch. I did not try 95 on a P2 or P3 since 98se and 2K was the OS of choice at that time. You need something less than 300mhz like a pentium mmx 233mhz 32mb edo ram 2GB HDD or ide SSD
Or you could use WIN95FIX which just fixes the issue allowing you to use CPU's over 1 THz
I have a Micron prebuilt from 1997 with an MMX 200mhz and EDO RAM.
First comment, grabbing popcorn :-)
By the way, Windows 95 was always installed through DOS, you had to have MS-DOS, make a bootable floppy, format the drive, then copy the content of the entire cd-rom to a map. And then install using the setup.exe /is command (which I told you once) :-) and which you kept on using ever since I guess. No need for scandrive crap. :-) .Ever thought of making a bootable Windows 95 combined with MS-DOS? If you can make MS-DOS bootable on a floppy disk, you can make it bootable on a cd-rom. After you made that bootable cd-rom (which you don't close in your burning software), you can add the Windows 95 map and all it's files later. And if you are handy, before you burn the bootable ms-dos part to the cd-rom, you could already change the startup-sequence in the autoexec.bat, making it the setup of Windows 95 automatically start.
The "Velocity TNT" name was used by STB Systems use of the RIVA TNT (Real-time Interactive Video and Animation TwiN Textules) GPUs, and some other manufacturers using the chip cloned the naming for later revisions.
dat video length doe
awsomDixie PART ONE no less, I love it
awsomDixie oh hi
Classic Druaga1 vid...
It's what I subbed for, I've been subbed for 3 years
try 4 years, and you've got me ;)
the good old sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't issue. Where you can get a different result every time. Takes me back, really nostalgic.
If you repartition the drive, that does not necessarily mean, that you deleted the filesystem. If by chance, the new partiton layout is the same as old one, nothing really changed and the filesystem is untouched. To be sure that you delete a file system, you really have to format the disk or even wipe it by overwriting it completely.
the PPC Mac Videocards wont work mainly because thy are flashed to interface over OpenFirmware (and thus in a PC, they wont init at boot) ant Intel era Mac cards will work in a PC mainly because thats when they along w/ x86_64 Switched to EFI/UEFI anything from the G3 and G4s as well G5's you may salvage. are going to be Worthless to you Unless they DO have a PC Equiv Rom that can be flashed to the card.
Welp, no sleep for me, gotta watch druaga1!
Druaga. I have been waiting for this video for years. Bless this day.
Life is so much better when you have a floppy disk, or make a bootable cd with a floppy image on it. MSDOS 6.22 w/ oakcdrom+mscdex+sys.com+format.com+ranish(part244)+xcopy.exe.
Boot, partition & format with ranish, reboot & sys C:, copy oakcdrom.sys, mscdex, and the config.sys/autoexec.bat over, boot from the hdd & insert windows disk, xcopy the entire windows CD to C:\WINSETUP, then run setup from there. Ranish formats faster, and having a setup datastore saves you digging out the windows disk when installing drivers or software later. I cheated in college using this setup to have a finished install of Windows NT before all my class mates were even done formatting their drives in a server lab.
Yup. bootdisk.com is your friend.
Table build? Whats wrong with the carpet?
Paul Ryan the carpet would probably fix the prot. Error. Lol. (XD)
Esd
Paul Ryan It was missing a driver for Windows 95.
He moved, no carpet anymore afaik
@@nikgolinar4378 Yeah having a PC on carpet is pretty dangerous
Druaga's face is red like tomatoe if someone (me) tolds him that he's got win 95 running with drivers properly on a core 2 duo.
.io Gameplays(HUN) virtual machines don't count
Nils Pc Vids I know that. So, I've struggled 2 weeks to get the damn thing working.
.io Gameplays(HUN) what parts did you use for that thing? I remember trying to setup 98 on my Athlon 2 dual core but all the drivers wanted XP or newer
It’s intriguing to me, your concerns about any games running on this hardware... On my first PC (93-97) I had Doom, Quake, and Heretic running on a 33MHz 486 with a terrible generic graphics adapter. Now I DID have to shrink the screens on these games to almost the smallest possible to get playable frame rates, AND my sound card could not allocate the audio data, BUT the games were playable without crashing in Dos via windows 3.11 with midi music on Doom and Heretic, and CD music worked on Quake from the CD ROM. Pretty impressive for a computer from 91 or 92. 🙃 This was fun to watch as always!
Everything else I could be doing < watching a long ass druaga1 video
that's what your life comes down to is watching long ass druaga1 videos hehe
Thanks for providing me a video to watch while I reassembled my keyboard. Lovely.
Just finished the video and noticed the "Part 1" in the title
can't wait, can't wait..
18:30 imagine what your life could've been if you hadn't decided to try installing Win95 on an SSD.
Now this is the content I subbed for..... All right now that I’ve got your attention.....
Shoutouts to simpleflips
shoutouts to simpleflips
Who's simpleflips?
simpleflips is the person you're supposed to give shoutouts to. don't question.
shoutouts to simpleflips.
kaity kline Google him, he is a TH-camr
get gay baby jailed if you dont know who simpleflips is
This is progress for the old druga1
Is lego creator kinda like Lego digital designer? Cause that game is soooooo nostalgic to me.
kaity kline yeah it is
kaity kline LEGO Creator has more than just building to it. You can drive cars, fly helicopters, and operate minifigures. Blow up things with destructabricks and make things bright with light bricks. Even though the game is considered outdated, it's still a fun time waster. LEGO Digital Designer, as far as I know and from when I used it, is only for building and "sketching" models.
I got my Win95 machine to install using a Win98 boot disk. It was a boot floppy disk, but a boot disk. And I had to use the version of FORMAT that's hidden in the Win95 directory. But after I figured all of that out, it was smooth sailing. Then again, this thing is a Micron Millennia with a 200MHz Pentium and 48 MB of RAM...
Finally, a normal Druaga1 video
I might be a closet sadist at your expense or maybe I've been through it so many times myself, but I was thoroughly entertained by this.
The only thing that might top this for straight out hair pulling is installing OS/2.version 2.0 (before all the service packs)
Finally, a Druaga video where you can see his hands
An hour and forty minutes? And it's only part 1??
the reason why windows 95 asks for the location is because when you first start the driver installation, windows 95 is using Long File Names (LFN), but then, for whatever reason, asks for the location again because it now can't find it as it's using the 8.3 filenames, i never could figure out why
you need help...
appears the issues are between the monitor and the chair...
One of your best videos! Thank you!
1:00:41 did you maybe mix up your CDs and install a non-OSR2 version of PRECOPY1.CAB? Though it's probably just the CPU frequency bug.
Also this video could have been half as long if you rebooted after that first FDISK. Or if you just sys'ed C, copied the setup files to a directory and ran it from there. Or if you had the boot floppy :D
I love this stuff Druaga 1. I managed to get win 98 working on a P4 machine (478 slot P4 2.4) using 40Gb HDD which actually crashed in 2012. I had older programs I wanted to use. The actual P3 450 Mh machine running 98 was spiting the dummy and had problems. I fear when Hdds are no longer available. My current project is retro fitting 1150 machine with i7 4770 and Windows 10. The next project will be installing XP on Ga EP45 Lga 775, with SSD to keep using some bad ass program from mid 2000s. My current machine is a i5 4460, H97 mb and 4x SSDs, and supper fast. I'd also been looking at my P1 120 using Win95 which is half working but has some booting issues. All so much fun eh? And I'm not a techie?
Dude I wish I had old computers but I'm only 15 I'm jealous I am stuck with virtual machines though on my gaming PC could be worse
@ 35:03 that "f" reminds me of the prefix we had with our Dutch guilder (which official name was a "florin"), hence until 2002 we used Dutch money and called it fl 10,- and sometimes in the form of dfl (Dutch Florin). Anyway, that symbol you have there looks a lot like it. Search for it on Wikipedia "Dutch guilder". :)
how about using FIX95?
I love the Windows 95 setup background
You're going to build a case out of legos? That's a neat idea
Pretty sure the problem at the beginning was that you restored the file allocation table from the previous drive--that was when Scandisk asked you about the second table.
Also, I believe the DOS commands on a Windows 98 disk are stored in the in a diffferent folder (D:\WIN98).
For the IOS error, you needed to use FIX95CPU
@37:32 "these are all the stupid font files I dragged out for some reason and I don't remember why." That is just plain good storytelling.
Finally druaga does something with an SSD!
almost 2 hours and this is only part one, weed bless!
Druaga1 your videos are hilarious. I do the same kind of things for fun.
you learn something new watching Druaga1's videos
I smashed that like button so fast
Layne Brown is that why it's broken? (XD)
SMASH THAT MF LIKE BUTTON 😂😂🅱️
I ran into the exact same problem with the Windows 95 setup hanging the same way after accepting the license agreement. Plugging the disk into another computer would cause an SU error of some sort to display at that point in the setup program hinting at a possible partitioning/formatting problem. Apparently it didn't like the fact that I was using GParted to format my disk for setting up Windows 95. I ended up using an old Windows ME bootdisk that was lying around and using FDISK and the FORMAT tools on the bootdisk. Windows 95 installed without a problem after that.
He's still making vids! Keep smokin' man! :D
See near 2 hour druaga1 video, grabs snacks and beverages, prepares to spend the best 2 hours of life
I remember the Win95 days. Always needed a 3.5in floppy start disk in order to get the drivers to install from CD. Ahh, the good ol' days.
Why do I feel like this was a livestream
WHERES THE RAM GONE?
you see kids Druaga1 demonstrates end of life performance of old hardware with an old computer
23 years later and duraga still using the same software
OMG I ran one of these rigs back in my teenage days building computers from old attic hardware, just to see if a computer could run outside the case!
PC & Mac video cards have different BIOS, you would need to flash those cards to use in a PC if they came from a G3/G4.
oh the joy whenever u upload! :P
that General Protection Fault on win95 is usually due to a high clock speed and AMD chip, there is a fix for it somewhere on the internet
Partitions are on the mbr, if you repartition and keep the same size, the mbr will be exactly the same as before, since it doesn't touch the partition data itself.
on 9:40 you HAVE to restart the machine so it updates as the partition info, it is still stored in memory. If you saw, you still had a fat32 active partition on fdisk. That's why you had so much trouble with scandisk seeing files etc...
And that's why afterwards Windows98 said it's not formatted and offered to format it..
I saw this in my feed and I knew it would be great!
Why do everyone forget that Windows 95 does not support partitions larger than near 500MB for system disk
An approaching two hour D1 video? Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas
A return to the longer videos? Glee!
just from the erratic behaviour of the motherboard (bios freezing, PCI ports not working etc) the moutherboard is damaged in some way... from what I could tell, none of the caps where bulging, but you didn't give a lot of camera angles so there might be some, do the only logical explanation for this is some corrosion some where on the moutherboard...
if you found this useful I'm happy that I helped you solve this mate. keep up the good work!
samiscool51 Good idea, altough it doesn't have to be an obvious or visible hardware failure
it did run pretty stable once booted up into windows though
correct, corrosion can be a bitch, sometimes its so small, you require a magnifying glass to try and see it
also the caps can still be damaged due to manufacturing problems etc; and require replacing even if they aren't visibly damaged
the fact that windows didn't want to start in the first place is a red flag, if a system fails to boot every so often, it means that something is not working and needs to be repaired, regardless of if the OS is stable once booted, the system is literally shouting at you saying:
THE IS SOMETHING FUCKING WRONG!! FIX IT BECAUSE I AM IN PAIN!!!!!!
Nah, the reason windows won't start sometimes is due to the cpu being too fast. Windows 95 tends to freak out if the cpu speed is faster than 1 ghz.
I've never been so happy
Is win95 normally this buggy? The oldest os I've ever used was 98.
kaity kline no, 95 works great if you have a bit of knowledge about computers. Druaga1 does not seem to have that so he struggles installing it. These videos are still fun to watch but seeing him doing things wrong that I think are easy to do always makes me cringe
Nils Pc Vids Altough 95 and 98 can be pretty buggy with corrupted drivers or slight hardware issues whitch wouldn't corrupt other systems as much
JonasLue that's definitely true and for me it was really tricky to find a network card that worked with my 98 machine. At the end the only card that worked was one that I secretly swapped out for an old one of my known good cards on my grandfather's computer. And sound on these old systems is also a thing that we should forget about. I have 2 Isa sound cards and two motherboards with Isa slots and on one of them only the ess audiodrive works and on my other board only the analog devices ad1816 works. I cannot get the audiodrive to work on my better motherboard and have to stick with the 1816
kaity kline windows 95 is basically a meme of I stability... that's what makes it fun to go back to was its retarded level of simplicity.. it's sort of funny but a pain into the as if your not into it..
I remember back I the day when I had a win 95 machine, I actually had the funniest error message every "windows 95 failed to load, windows 95." After I got to the desktop.. I clicked more info and it only showed "initialization successfull" WTF? Basically it freaked itself out cuz it booted without error....
this otta be interesting
its always good :)
everything of this SHOULD be happening as you created "new" partition in exactly same place as "old" partition, effectivelly you only wasted time and did exactly no change (apart from random errors)
I have ran across the 95 setup hanging like this before, but it would load after like 15 minutes of doing nothing.
I ran into this too when deleting and creating partitions with the same size.
My guess is it reads the fat which has not been overwritten and continues as if it's damaged.
I think this might be the only video of Lego Creator in all of TH-cam. If you streamed that game I'd watch it. I miss it.
"Let's make sure we're normal."
Nice.
Druaga why don't you ever use setup /is string to skip the scandisk option?
Also format is in the win98 folder on the win98 CD
And underclock that duron to 900 mhz
From what I read, the problem is any AMD processor over 350Mhz. So that wouldn't be enough.
ZipplyZane you're right I was thinking the 1ghz limit applied to amd as well as Intel
2 things; 1. Did you forget that you can skip Scandisk by typing setup /is? 2. You could have used a Windows 95 boot floppy from allbootdisks.com and write it!
Hey man, I really like your gaming videos (windows 98 games is my favorite video) and I think it would be more nostalgic and interesting if you played more of these nostalgia-fests.
HOLY SHIT HE HAS POSTED
I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING FOR THE NEXT HOUR OR SO
Also could be due a faulty RAM chip on that RAM stick
That is most likely the problem!
You could have used the edit feature instead if replying to your own comment like some kind of incel superstar
