    Win 95

    I have a question about Win 95. Will the Win 95 OS CD install support cold booting from the CD ROM to install the OS or do I have to install DOS first? I just want to play around with 95 on another hard drive that I have here. If I need DOS first I'm screwed as I nolonger have a copy of same.

    There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

      I think there are cd bootable versions but since few systems back then allowed booting from a CD you had to insert a boot floppy first. It might work straight from the CD in a newer system and I'm pretty sure that the retail versions that were not upgrades contained everything you needed to install Windows 95.

          OSR2 should. I don't know about original. You could make the hard drive bootable and copy the win95 files to cd. That way you just boot off the HD into DOS and run setup.

                  The only Win95 CDs I've seen that are not bootable were wrongly copied pirated ones.

                      DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG error re. old drivers in Windows 11 install image
                      by japlytic
                      In a Beelink GTR mini PC, mine has an Intel AX200NGW WLAN module.

                      Tried (only with keyboard/mouse connected):
                      • BIOS + database update
                      • Using latest Windows 11 image built with official image creation tool
                      • Previous setup version for Windows 11 installer
                      • Replacing SSD without a slow block (the previous SSD had a slow block with access time > 500 mS)
                      • TPM reset (worked to the point where DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG error message is displayed briefly after the point of stalling)
                      • Disabling power to WLAN and LAN modules in BIOS (Advanced > AMD PBS > PCI Express Configuration)
                      ...

                      MacOS: R|W Programmers like CH341x BINs..?
                      by TrumanHW
                      For years I tried figuring out how to R|W BINs from my CH341x programmer.
                      From FTDI's pkg, Apps specifically claiming they work, I failed for ~8 years.

                      I'd expect many here figured it out (easily), but in case not ...
                      It's one of the few forms of "how-to" remuneration I can GIVE BACK.

                      This may be the easiest means to copy-paste:

                      Code:
                      SERIAL -to- USB - CH341 ROM (MacOS):


Install xcode:				xcode-select --install
Relocate

                      Samsung UE50RU7170 not booting /no picture
                      by Aeisens
                      Dear all,

                      My issue is the following:
                      Tv suddenly started to make Strange things and went out. After disconnecting power and restarting, it tried to start but failed. After each attempt it got worse and worse. Now only the Stdb light is on and it is not booting.

                      I checked the power supply -> Backlight on when disconnected from mainboard, so I guess Power supply is ok.
                      Additionally the upper right part of the main-board makes some whistling noise -> probably issue there and therefore issues with booting

                      Question 1: Where should I start to...

                      ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING - M.2_2 port not working correctly with SAMSUNG SSD980 1TB NVME SSD
                      by DynaxSC
                      Hi,

                      I have an really very weired issue with ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING.

                      Some NVME (PCIe) SSD's are not working correctly in the second M.2 socket. An example of it is the SAMSUNG SSD980 1TB NVME SSD.
                      Some other NVME (I have only smaller ones) disk do work without any problem, also SAMSUNG disks, eg an MZVPV128HDGM-0000.

                      The behaviour is also really very strange, i.e.:
                      • The disk shows always up in BIOS - so it is recognized, so far so good
                      • POST-ing with this disk with fresh Windows 24H2 installation (done in the M.2_1 socket) in the M.2_2 socket
                      ...

                      Dell Latitude 5590 i5-8350U LA-F411P kernel panic when booting from USB
                      by Daniel Kubica
                      I got a bare Dell Lattitude 5590 with missing battery, RAM, RTC battery and Storage, I wanted to put some components in it and use it as my home laptop. After adding a FRU 2GB DDR4 2400 SoDIMM RamaxelRAMI've tried booting Linux Mint from USB, I got an error while trying to boot it. I tried reseating the stick, different slot, didn't help.
                      I tried to boot Windows 10 installer, as that was the stock system my model came with, got a BSOD as soon as the installer started booting, different code every time. I've tried switching to AHCI mode, I've tried linux in legacy mode, I've tried compatibility...
