I wasn't talking about the operating system..I figured you guys had already pretty much covered that..but..it does matter what version you use as a boot disk..win 95 version 1 will only format in FAT16. I was just telling him that yes..in response to his original question..he would have to re fdisk and reformat with a fat 32 capable boot disk of some sort. and then what ever os from os2 on up he wants would work.
