  Try one of the many boot disk options available on the www.nospin.com
site.  We have just about every flavor of Windows 9x here.

Make sure you run Fdisk from the floppy.  I would suggest you try the 95b
(second edition) from the nospin downloads.  Boot your computer with it and
use a:\fdisk.exe to diagnose.

Subject: [PCBUILD] installing Win95


Hello, again...

I have recently discovered the reason my 2nd HDD was not working
properly was because I have the wrong version of Win95...

So.. once I realised that, I made a Win95 recovery disk (but forgot a
couple of files....) and reformatted my 2nd HDD.

Now.. when I try to install Win95, it says I need a Dos partition, but
when I try to run FDISK.. it says I have the wrong version of DOS.

My new HDD is 7.5gig. I know Win3.x and Dos 6.22 do not recognise HDD
over 2 gig, but now, I cannot seem to partition it...

Any suggestions?

Thanking you in anticipation

Anne Smith
