Mislabeled Windows 3.00 Disk (65896)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Windows 3.0a
This article was previously published under Q65896 SUMMARY
Some packages of Microsoft Windows version 3.0 contain incorrectly
labeled 3.5-inch disks. Disks 1 through 4 are labeled correctly.
Disks labeled 5, 6, and 7 are actually disks 4, 5, and 6,
respectively. The correct Disk 7, which contains printer drivers, is
missing. The confirmed build number (from the bar code sticker on the
Windows 3.0 box) for this situation is #50-00-777-09-02.
MORE INFORMATION
During the Setup program for Windows 3.0, you are prompted to insert
Disk 5 and continue, but Setup does not recognize Disk 5 when it is
inserted. If you insert Disk 6 instead, Setup proceeds until it asks
for Disk 6, at which point it will again not recognize the disk.
Inserting Disk 7 allows the Setup to continue.
The Windows Setup can be completed successfully (less printer
support) if you DO NOT install printers during Setup, and you
substitute the appropriate disks for the mislabeled ones asked for
by the program.
To receive free replacement disks, call Microsoft Product Support
at (425) 454-2030.
