I know this is an XP forum but I'm looking for a place to download
copy of a windows 95 startup disk. The one with the CD rom driver o
it (boot from CD ROM). Help!
 
You can get all sorts of boot up disks from www.bootdisk.com

The original OEM pack that had W95 in it came with a bootable
floppy disk and the cd with Windows on it. The floppy did not
come with a cdrom drive in the boot routine. One had to add the
cdrom driver install routine to the config.sys and autoexec.bat
files so that the cd could be "seen". I usually added the
oakcdrom.sys driver and linked it with the mscdex.exe for a
generic solution, other cd drives had proprietary drivers.

"Downloading" what you seek would be against the law.
