Sophie: I recommend you take out the existing drive and install the 4GB drive. Best thing to get would be a hard drive caddy so you can swap between drives. A dual boot Win95 - Win3.1 system is fraught with too many pitfalls. And a bit problematic with an OEM version of Win95 (I can't recall the work around). FDISK it with the Win95 Start Up diskette into 4 partitions, each just under 1 GB. Then SYS C: with the Start Up diskette. Make a directory called E:\WIN95. XCOPY all the diskettes to said directory, using the VERIFY and SUBDIRECTORY switches. Boot to the hard drive and run SETUP from the E:\WIN95 subdirectory. This will install WIN95 faster and avoid errors caused by misreading diskettes during installation and having to restart. Diskette installation is a pain. You're better off buying a CDROM drive.
