If you install Windows 95 on a compressed drive, Windows 95 Setup will place the following files on the boot drive.
Windows 95 Files on the Boot Drive | ||
AUTOEXEC.BAT | DBLSPACE.BIN1 | MSDOS.SYS1 |
AUTOEXEC.DOS | DETLOG.TXT1 | NETLOG.TXT |
BOOTLOG.PRV1 | DRVSPACE.BIN1 | SETUPLOG.TXT1 |
BOOTLOG.TXT1 | DRVSPACE.INI1 | SUHDLOG.DAT1 |
COMMAND.COM | IO.DOS1 | SYSTEM.1ST1 |
COMMAND.DOS | IO.SYS1 | WINA20.386 |
CONFIG.DOS | MSDOS.---1 | |
CONFIG.SYS | MSDOS.DOS1 | |
1 Indicates a hidden file.
The WIN386.SWP file is added to the host drive by Windows 95 Setup. Although the host drive is usually the same as the boot drive, it doesn't have to be. For example, if part of drive D is used to create the compressed drive H, then D is the host for H, but C is the host drive. Therefore, WIN386.SWP will be placed in the root of D if Windows is installed on drive H. The remaining Windows 95 files are placed on the compressed drive in the specified Windows directory.
Windows 95 Setup adds the same files as listed earlier in this section to the boot drive when installing Windows 95 on an uncompressed drive that is not the boot drive. The only difference is that WIN386.SWP will be placed on the same drive as the Windows directory. For example, if you have drives C and D, and if you install Windows 95 on D:\WINDOWS, then WIN386.SWP will be on the root of D. Otherwise, it will be placed as described earlier for compressed drives.
