From the Start button go to Settings,  Control Panel,
System.On the General Tab, it should say
     Microsoft Windows 95
    4.00.950  (the original)
or
    4.00.950 A (this is Service Pack One, downloaded from
www.microsoft.com)
or
    4.00.950 B (also known as Service Release Two)

There is a Sleep mode built into many hardware
configurations that will reduce the power required when
there is little or no activity.  There are three places to
control this:
    1.    Control Panel, Power
    2.    Control Panel, Display
    3.    the system CMOS, under power settings

Am not certain on this one, but this could be a function of
FAT16 versus FAT32.  FAT32 is part of 95B.
