Run Smartdrv before you run Setup from the CD or the file copying
will take forever. The Windows 95 must be a full version or you
will need your Windows 3.x floppy disks to prove eligibility for the
upgrade. The installation will read from up to seven of the floppy
disks before it will continue. Make sure you have them all.
