You can use a Windows 95 startup disk to load the operating system and display an MS-DOS command prompt. The startup disk also contains utilities for troubleshooting a malfunctioning operating system. You can create a startup disk during Windows 95 Setup or afterward in Control Panel.
Caution It is strongly recommended that you create a startup disk as part of Windows 95 Setup, and that you maintain an updated copy of the startup disk each time you change the system configuration after installing Windows 95.
If you did not create a startup disk during Setup, you can create one using a single floppy disk.
