Going from XP back to 95

Don't be fooled by the subject, its much more
complicated. What happened is that I got Windows XP on my
computer, and it just doesn't work for me. So now I
really want to go back to Windows 95(I have 95 install
and my harddrive is still FAT32). So I followed some
advice I got from you guys and tryed to use a startup
disk to install it, but after it preformed the checks,
setup the install wizard, and the EULA thing, it froze on
me leaving all systems stopped. I really need help on
this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have a new computer, its likely Windows 95 will not install
on it. Windows 95 is over 8 years old and it most certainly does
not have the drivers for your new computer's internal hardware
configuration necessary for installation.

If you just don't care for XP's format, then you can change it easily.

It's not on a new computer! I installed XP and did a new
install instead of an upgrade!!!
