How Do I Setup Windows



Sorry if you get this twice, the previous attempt had Help in the subject
line and I think Majordomo though I was asking it for help.

For several days now, my main data taking computer has been making a loud
click click noise.  Being prudent, I have gone out and bought a new (small)
hard drive.  

I have determined that the noise is coming from the C drive.  Now the c
drive has nothing of value on it except Windows, which is sort of necessary.

How do I switch out the drive?  I have put in the new drive and it is
detected (I think), and have put in the Windows boot disk.  The bios
detects the CD drive as a slave and the new drive as the master as it
should on that IDE bus.  

I can get to the point where it says put Win 95 in CD and enter 
x:setup.   Where x is the letter for the CD drive.  It has not assigned a
letter yet for the CD drive, so I don't know what to enter.   Letters
through j don't work.

Any advice would be helpful.  There may be a better way to make a drive
change out?

I have another brand x CD drive that I could put in for the HP one.  

What I am really asking is how do you cold start Win 95?  I have never
tried to do this before.  Sigh!  I don't really want to learn.

At last I have asked a question where I can get lots of help.  ;^)
