win 95 install

hi, im trying to install win 95 and i kep getting the same error.
here it is,
Error su-0013
setup could not create files on your startup drive and cannot set up windows.
if you have hpfs or windows NT file system,you must create am MS-DOS boot partition.if you have LANtastic server or superstor compression,disable it befor running setup.see SETUP.TXT onsetup disk 1 or the windows CD-ROM.

if anyone can tell me what the hell there on about that would be great.
cheers andrew.

How do you have the drive partitioned?
If you used FAT32 and Large partitions that is your problem.
Win95 prior to win95 os2.5 does not support Large partitions.
you need to partition the win95 segment of the drive in fat16..

Use a Boot floppy to start the system and Run Fdisk.
Use the Display partition Information to see How you have the drive setup.
