    “The error was when I was prompted to restart at end, when I clicked the restart button at the end of the installation, it failed and got the I/o error. Then i tried restarting normally, same I/o error…”

    Ok.

    “Now this is exactly the same that happened in VirtualBox.”

    What operating system did you install the virtual box in ?

    Is that operating system on the first partition on the hard drive ?

    Please ANSWER ALL the other the questions I asked in Response 8 ! !

    Is the 95 CD an Upgrade CD, or an OEM ( oem always = Full version ) or Full retail version CD ?

    “I first tried to install it on my laptop by booting the setup via FreeDos and partiton via gParted.”

    That’s not particularly useful to me, without more details.

    “Now, I do not think my install cd is OSR2, because it does not state that, and it only says “Now with USB Support…”.

    Ok.
    I was assuming OSR2 or OSR2.x or OSR 2.0 or OSR 2.x would be printed on the CD – I’ve never seen one that I can recall myself, although my brother has one. All the Win 95 CDs I can recall seeing are older versions. I have only one, an Upgrade version.

    By the way, I never used Win 95 myself, although I have worked on other people’s computers that had it – none of those were OSR2 or later. .
    I went from using MsDos 6.2 and Win 3.1 to Win 98SE .
    I have worked on other people’s computers that had Win 98, the orginal version.

    I did did some research – all Win 95 versions that support USB also support (an earler version of) FAT32 partitioning .

    To find which version you have….
    Insert the Win 95 CD in a drive on a working computer.
    If a message pops up, close it.
    Go to Windows Explorer – My Computer
    ( In Win 95 thru XP…..
    Start – Programs or All Programs – Accessories – Windows Explorer – My Computer)

    Click on the Win CD drive letter to shows the CD’s contents – click once on Setup.exe to highlight it, RIGHT click on it with the cursor on the highlighted file, select Properties – Version – Product version

    See the versions listed in this:
    Availability of Universal Serial Bus Support in Windows 95
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q25…

    If that doesn’t help, double click on the \WIN95 folder to show it’s contents – the date of most of if not all the files and folders should reveal the version it must be, according to the Microsoft info.

    Once you have created a HitmanPro.Kickstart USB flash drive you can use it to rescue a ransomed PC. For that you must first make sure that the ransomed PC is powered off.

    Insert the HitmanPro.Kickstart USB flash drive into a USB port of the ransomed PC and turn on the power of the PC. During the startup of the PC, enter the Boot Menu of your BIOS (press either F8, F11 or F12 depending on the manufacturer of your BIOS) and select the HitmanPro.Kickstart USB flash drive.

    I made a couple of changes, that might speed things up,
    I reduced it from Three Steps to Two Steps by combining
    the last two steps into one.

    With your data in cell A1

    First:

    In cell B1 enter the formula: =SEARCH(“??/??/2013”,$A$1,1)
    In cell C1 enter the formula: =SEARCH(“??/??/2013”,$A$1,B$1+20)
    Drag cell C1 across to Column I, that is were your dates end.

    As you can see, the SEARCH() function allows the use of Wild Card characters,
    so we can find the actual beginning without doing any math.

    Second:

    Now that we have the starting locations of each of the dates
    we can combine formulas and save ourselves a step:

    In cell B2 enter the formula: (It’s a bit long, so copy and paste.)

    =DATE(MID(MID($A$1,B1,19),7,4),MID(MID($A$1,B1,19),4,2),LEFT(MID($A$1,B1,19),2))+TIMEVALUE(RIGHT(MID($A$1,B1,19),8))

    Drag cell B2 across to Column I,
    this cuts out the date & times from A1 and at the same time
    coverts it from TEXT to real Dates & Times.

    Makes life a bit easier.

    I would consider the problem is not related to software at all but must be in the hardware chain so let’s think about the possibilities:
    1. The hard drive itself might be faulty. Your diagnostics tests have not revealed any issues with it once it is detected and running and the only way to be certain would be to attach another known good drive. Install an operating system on it and see if you still get the boot /reboot error.
    2. If we presume there is nothing wrong with the drive then the next link in the chain is the cable connecting it to the motherboard. Does it have separate connections for power & data? Not sure in laptops there is even a cable. It may plug directly into a header connection on the motherboard and that is the next possibility:
    3. the motherboard may have an intermittent fault associated with the drive connection/controller. Such faults would generally not be easy to identify or correct and would probably require replacement of the motherboard.

    From your description of symptoms and the lack of any data corruption I suspect the problem is restricted to the power circuits.
