When you are creating a Startup Disk during Windows 95 Setup, you may
receive the following error message:
Disk Initialization Error
Could not properly initialize the floppy disk that you inserted.
Error: Disk sector was not found.
Click OK to continue.
CAUSE
This problem can occur if the floppy disk drive in your computer is
connected to a Promise IDE controller. The hardware detection portion of
Setup does not properly recognize floppy disk drives on a Promise IDE
controller.
RESOLUTION
Do not create a Startup Disk during Setup. Instead, create a Startup Disk
after Setup is finished by following these steps:
- Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control
Panel.
- Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.
- Click the Startup Disk tab.
- Click the Create Disk button.
