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".
