Installing Windows 95
Some new devices for the ThinkPad 600 computer are not supported by the Windows 95 Retail Release Version and the Service Pack Version 1. In addition, some new files must be incorporated at the time of installation.

Installing the Windows 95 OSR0 or the OSR1
1. Create a Windows 95 supplementary diskette using the Diskette Factory program (refer to the User's Reference).

2. Make sure there is enough space in the hard disk to store the cabinet files and the installation programs (the required space might vary depending on the national language supported by your version of Windows 95).

3. Make a temporary directory.
For example, enter at the DOS prompt:

MD C:\WIN95

4. 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 drive letter, and tgt_dir is the temporary directory that you made in step 3.

5. Insert the Windows 95 supplementary diskette into the diskette drive.

6. 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 3.

7. Install the operating system in the temporary directory by entering SETUP.EXE at the temporary directory prompt.

8. Refer to the Windows 95 documentation and the instructions that appear on the screen to complete the installation.

9. If required, install the Service Pack Version 1, available from the Microsoft Internet home page.

10. If required, remove all the files in the temporary directory and then remove the directory itself after you complete the installation, to free the space on the hard disk.

Installing the Windows 95 OSR2 or OSR2-1
If you don't have a CD-ROM of the Windows 95 OSR2-1, you can install it by restoring the original preloaded image from the Recovery CD. Refer to the User's Reference.

If you have a CD-ROM version of the Windows 95 OSR2 or OSR2-1, do the following:

1. Create a Windows 95 supplementary diskette using the Diskette Factory program (refer to the User's Reference).

2. Make sure there is enough space in the hard disk to store the cabinet files and the installation programs (the required space might vary depending on the language supported by your version of Windows 95).

3. Make a temporary directory.
For example, enter at the DOS prompt:

MD C:\WIN95

4. Copy all the cabinet (.CAB) files and the installation programs from the \WIN95 directory of the Windows 95 CD-ROM disk to the temporary 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 drive letter, and tgt_dir is the temporary directory that you made in step 3.

5. Insert the Windows 95 supplementary diskette into the diskette drive.

6. Copy the updated files in the Windows 95 supplementary diskette to the temporary directory.
For example, enter the following 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 3.

7. Install the operating system in the temporary directory by entering SETUP.EXE at the temporary directory prompt.

8. Refer to the Windows 95 documentation and the instructions that appear on the screen to complete the installation.

9. Insert the Windows 95 supplementary diskette into the diskette drive.

10. Change the drive letter at the DOS prompt to A and run \USBSUPP.EXE.
