Are you patient? Good. Prepare for unseen and edited-out roadblocks and frustration =D Yet I have a yearning to make more videos with this motherboard.
This was so fun to watch. I learned this lesson ages ago and watching you, I actually relived my pain. Nowadays, copying over the install directory to the drive I wanted to install Win95 on would have been the first thing I'd have thought to do!
@SummerRain well your in luck as it's very very easy to make your dreams come true if you want your motherboard to make that sound as you just need to buy and install a pc speaker or motherboard speaker and then you to can have those classic beeps from your computer they can be bought on amazon among other places or try using some water in the right spot may also work
@SummerRain well then you need to hit the motherboard with a hammer until it does make that sound on start up lol or try using some water in the right spot you just have to keep trying till you get just the right fuck up with the motherboard so it makes the same type of beep never give up never surrender
Challenge if you choose to accept it. Install Windows 8 on a VM inside Windows 10. Then install 7 on a VM from inside the 8 VM. And keep going using older and older OS and see how far you can go :)
+Druaga1 The only thing is that you might have to alternate VM software. I know that VPC2007 detects if you run itself inside itself - it won't let you run it. Not sure about the others but it's probably easiest to do VMware and VirtualBox.
Did this on my PC a few months ago. My PC has an Athlon ii X4 860k and 12gb of ram. I ran Windows 10, with a VM of Windows Vista, inside that XP and inside that 95 on the XP level it already became horrendously slow.
+tillytony ...and to make it a long video, installing PearPC for OS X in an emulated machine, then running Basilisk II with System 7 inside the PearPC emulated machine.
What I used to do back in the early days of Windows 95 was to copy all the setup files to the C drive, then boot from a floppy (ok all the computers had floppys back then) then run the setup from the hard drive and all went well.
I just OBSed 1 minute and thirty seconds of your video at 56:00 with your profile picture and your TH-cam name and a part of the description to my facebook wall making a bit of an advertisement for you, hope it's okay. It was just too hilarious not to share and absolutely nobody in my friends list would have watched the entire thing :D
its hard watching this while i experience the same feelings with my pentium 2 that its actually designed for.... lol... but here is a tip that i hope you see. 1) download a "windows 98" boot disk from winworldpc.com/product/microsoft-windows-boot-disk/95 2) load from floppy 3) run the command format c: /s which should write command.com to your hdd you should hopefully be able to get cdrom support this way or at least give you a bootable c drive to dos for further experiments. i learned this as a wee little lad building my first pc. hope this helps and or gives you new avenues to try in windows 95 installs. and yes i know im refering you to the windows 98 boot disk as it was easier to work with but you can try both if you want. hope this helps phoon
A bit late in the game, I know :D I noticed your SSD was on IDE channel 2, that may have caused some of the problems you experienced. On some installations of Win95 that I've made in the past, it would only work from IDE channel 1. This may not be true in this case, but it's worth a try swapping it to channel 1. At least it would make another fun video :D Thanks for this one, I had a good laugh while watching it :)
56:12 LMAO "so that means if you whant this to work you have to set to boot device to.... extended F: DISK ... BEEEEEEEEEEP ... FUCK UP YOUR COMPUTER ENTIRELY" the way he said that thow LOMO XD
My guess is that Windows installed itself to the SSD but then placed the bootloader on the Hiren's USB, but the SSD 95 install was somehow configured to look for the bootloader on that USB.
Fun Fact: You can generate product keys for Windows 95. The first 5 digits are a day in the form of: Day of year: Actual year from 95-03 Next string is for all digits to add up to a number divisible my 7, but the last number can't be 0, 7, 8 or 9. The last 5 digits are irrelevant. Enjoy!
The Lenovo S10 netbook has that same Atom. Am currently trying to make it a Hackintosh. Windows 10 runs pretty bad on it, though TH-cam is surprisingly good at 480p.
To be able to boot in normal (not safe) mode you should probably let the BIOS to handle disk access. I'm sure you can do it in Win95 but I don't remember how. Then install TCP/IP protocol (yes you have to do that manually in W95) and you can use IE3 on the Internet in 2016. Of course if you manage to find W95 drivers for your network adapter :) Alternative to network adapter is to use SLIP if this board has a serial port. Have fun.
You bring back all of my memories having to multiple re-install the early Windows OS's... I was once told that the product key for Windows 95 only requires the last 5 digits in the key to be wholly divisible by 7. Meaning, you can put any crap in the first part of the product key & "77777" in the last 5 digits & it will accept the product key.

This board was likely built to run MS-Dos anyways for old school MS-dos based terminal systems for cash registers, but even still, surprised to see Win95 even attempt to load on such a new MB, the IDE emulation mode is what made this at all possible running on the SSD, if you only had AHCI mode available, then you would be SOL
Nice video. I once installed windows 95 on a VM Hosted from a SSD, from an Windows 95 ISO running in a virtual drive, once I got it working it was the quickest windows install iv ever seen. Only OS that ever beat me was ME, could never get it on anything!
Some years ago, I bought an IDE to Compact Flash adapter to install a diskless Linux OS called BrazilFW. Its purpose was to act as a router. Eventually that computer died, and I bought one of those compact black IBM ThinkCentre desktops. It would not play nice with the IDE adapter though, so I had to use a USB card reader. Eventually I lost that computer, and I bought another IBM ThinkCentre, and for this one I actually bought an ssd. It doesn't have much storage, but works nicely for just hosting a standalone firewall. It could probably do much more, but either way, old hardware still has its uses.
Best and easiest way to install Windows 95/98/ME: Boot from Windows 98 SE bootable CD or floppy. Select boot with cd support but don't start setup now. When at DOS prompt fdisk and format the hard drive Then type: D: cd win9x mkdir c:\win9x copy *.* c:\win9x c: cd win9x setup /is That copies the files from the win9x cd and will stop you in future having to insert the windows CD when you install a driver.
Just to mention - Win9x and FAT will kill SSD drives (as well as CompactFlash or other solid-state drives) very fast because of the lack of TRIM command support.
Load up the partition tool extended fdisk... (Beeep) Fuck up your computer ENTIRELY.. Format the SSD to get rid of all of the boot loader stuff. Make sure to give it a volume label! Double Check to make sure that it did infact format with FAT32. (Beep) Fuck up your computer again. Lots of fuck ups there Druaga, I like it. ;) (Autocorrect wanted to correct druaga to drugs xDDD)
I love it when people do technical shit like this. Keep it up, it's entertaining :-D! --EDIT-- Windows 95 can run on SATA because computer manufacturers make sure as hell that everything is backwards compatible as feasibly possible. Keeping 16 bit real mode, IDE Compatibility layers, stuff like that.
I always imagined you faced looked like Raoul Duke in Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. Maybe its your voice. Ever think of auditioning for the second movie not made yet? Why it booted late eventually: I have a Dell Vostro 200 for which I tried to boot a USB Drive with Windows 10 1903 x86-64. It let me select x64 or x86 as separate entries in the USB device boot menu of the PC (unlike with my HP Compaq dc7700, which only showed x64, which is my preference anyway). The x64 entry would boot to the logo, then restart no matter what I did. It was fixed by going into BIOS and disabling "Other Boot Device" (unknown, just something that would show all SATA devices at boot). So you probably fixed it by disabling something problematic that booted. As for SATA devices using IDE Mode for some motherboards; depending on the board, it's either for compatibility (like dc7700, which supports from Pentium 4 to Core 2 Duo), or a cost-saving decision. Also, why 95???!!! Use 98SE if you must use DOS and Windows in the same OS!
in case anyone was wondering, 4404 days is like 12 years
Yeah I went and did the math on that too...
What the fuck
This was so fun to watch. I learned this lesson ages ago and watching you, I actually relived my pain. Nowadays, copying over the install directory to the drive I wanted to install Win95 on would have been the first thing I'd have thought to do!
This motherboard has the most irritating POST beep sound ever.
@Myronaz same
@SummerRain well your in luck as it's very very easy to make your dreams come true if you want your motherboard to make that sound as you just need to buy and install a pc speaker or motherboard speaker and then you to can have those classic beeps from your computer they can be bought on amazon among other places
or try using some water in the right spot may also work
@SummerRain well then you need to hit the motherboard with a hammer until it does make that sound on start up lol
or try using some water in the right spot you just have to keep trying till you get just the right fuck up with the motherboard so it makes the same type of beep never give up never surrender

I think the only reason Druaga still makes these videos is because the motherboards are still weed colored.
thats a good enough reason to make videos
Disable AHCI and you will be able to install Windows 95 normally

25:16 Scan Disk strikes Druaga1
I don’t know if you noticed but the usb that booted Win95, when you looked at the capacity it said “4.20GB free” 420!!!
6:20 did he just plug in a Molex cable with no hassle?
HOLY SHIT
That Markiplier impression @ 3:47 was hilarious 😂🤣
What I used to do back in the early days of Windows 95 was to copy all the setup files to the C drive, then boot from a floppy (ok all the computers had floppys back then) then run the setup from the hard drive and all went well.
Hands up to see if +Druaga1 can get Windows 3.1 installed to an SSD.
3:47 RAMiplier xD Laughed so hard!! Really good =P and Subbed!!
I really enjoy watching your videos!! best content ever! Love u
P.S: Where's Druaga from?
USA, I think.
Having to plug in a flash drive in order to boot your PC... actually sounds like kind of a cool thing.
That thing you drew near the end looks like a turtle with a massive wound on its belly.

It was just too hilarious not to share and absolutely nobody in my friends list would have watched the entire thing :D
The whole "copy the setup files to the hard drive" is how most everyone I know had Windows 9x towards the end of it's useful life.
its hard watching this while i experience the same feelings with my pentium 2 that its actually designed for.... lol... but here is a tip that i hope you see.
1) download a "windows 98" boot disk from winworldpc.com/product/microsoft-windows-boot-disk/95
2) load from floppy
3) run the command format c: /s which should write command.com to your hdd
you should hopefully be able to get cdrom support this way or at least give you a bootable c drive to dos for further experiments. i learned this as a wee little lad building my first pc. hope this helps and or gives you new avenues to try in windows 95 installs. and yes i know im refering you to the windows 98 boot disk as it was easier to work with but you can try both if you want.
hope this helps

My guess is that Windows installed itself to the SSD but then placed the bootloader on the Hiren's USB, but the SSD 95 install was somehow configured to look for the bootloader on that USB.
this is where the sys command comes in handy.

This is by far the funniest video you've done. Love it, keep it coming!!! 👌
Hehe. I do enjoy watching your SSD shenanigans.
just when you think that Windows 95 installations shouldn't be complicated, this video exists to prove otherwise. Excellent work, Druaga.
I swear that was a perfect Russian accent.
You really know how to keep people entertained lol
Nice to see my reaction at 30:33 ;-)
I sat through this wole thing and didn't skip, I am a winner, and good luck with getting it working 100%
Just when I think everything is gonna go smoothly for once, I realize that there’s still almost half an hour left on the video...of course lol
Bar of soap SSD, dynamite power-supply, pizza-box insulation, and RAM sticks thrown around like breadsticks.

I used the S10 enabler and it works great.
Woohoo! A new Druaga1 video to brighten up my Monday
setup /IS /IW /P G=3 (best way of doing a Win9x install, it even skips the license agreement)
When you finally got it to work I wanted to celebrate too haha. How you ever figured all of this out is beyond me!
This may be the single greatest thing I've ever seen.
And now a very "Crucial" step in our Windows 95 installation
I love your videos SO much. Please keep doing stuff!!!!!!!
