My EZ-Drive warns me to backup before using it. Any changes to the
drive partition erases all data on that drive. I just recovered from a
system crash in which '95 took a dislike to my bios/ez-drive
combination. The '95 setup would simply shut down at that point,
leaving me in "safe" mode. It would not reinstall with ez-drive
present. I updated the bios, removed ez-drive from the disks, and all
went well. The increase in speed of the system was well worth it. I'm
now convinced it's not nice to fool "mother bios".
