I think some careful use of'fdisk' and 'format' is what I'd do. 'upgrading' anything from 95 is pointless. You're better off starting from a blank slate.

what the problem could beis that the new versions of windows are disabling or bypassing something specific to the laptop's proper operation... many older laptops use specialised versions of windows to ensure compatability with their hardware
