If it's absolutely necessary and there's no other way around it, then follow
Bob's advice.  However, I'd agree with Tom.  Win95 is going to divide that 40
into 2 gig increments.  Is it possible you have a backup copy somewhere?  Or
perhaps the data you need to enter can be temporarily stored on the old
pentium and later transferred to the 40gig once your box is back?  If the
info on the 40gig is that important, I wouldn't take the chance IMHO.
