Help!

 

I have bought, through eBay, a Gateway Solo, which is probably an antique. The screen works, a few things in setup work; but I was warned before purchasing it that it had no OS and no CD drive. It has an A drive. Theoretically it has a B drive which is now disabled, but I wouldn't know what to do with a B drive anyway.

 

Now that I have unpacked it, I see that it was made to run Windows 95.

 

By some miracle, I still have my Windows 95 software, but, of course, it's on a CD.

 

Would it work to put the CD into my CD drive and copy it onto floppies?

 

Would it work to put the CD into my CD drive and upload it into my portable drive, and then use the portable drive (which is USB) to download it onto the computer?

 

If neither of these would work, what the hay--ell would work? If I can just get the OS on it, it will do exactly what I want it to do.

 

Please answer directly to me. I REALLY don't want to see an argument get started over how to do it.

 

Thanks.
