Startup in2 a DOS prompt from the F8 menu and Fdisk it. REMEMBER to change drives in FDISK! Don't go & FDISK your own HDD! Restart and return to DOS prompt. Format the drive using the /s command (format [driveletter]: /s), this will make the drive bootable. Once formatted, make a new directory called Win95 ([driveletter]:\md win95). From your Windows 95 cd, copy all the files in the Win95 directory to the Win95 directory on your friends HDD. Stick the HDD back into your friends pc and reboot. If all went well, the disk will boot to the command prompt. Change to the win95 directory (C:\cd win95) and run setup. It will complain about Himem.sys etc., but press the Esc. key to ignore the message and continue.
Good luck! Let me know...</STRONG>
Forgot one thing, if he hooks it as a slave in his machine and partitions it, he will need to boot to a disk on his friends machine and set the partition active before it will boot!
