U may run into problems installing .... an older Windows application. Some utilities will present problems as well. If U are using FAT32 disk partitions, you must upgrade your disk maintenance and antivirus utilities to FAT32 compatible versions. Symantec's 2.0 versions of Norton Utilities and Norton AntiVirus for Windows 95, and IBM's AntiVirus 2.52 are FAT32 - compliant and currently shipping. U might want to invest in a copy of System Commander which will let U create and administer multiboot partition configurations with Win95 SR2 -- I highly recommend and paritition magic 3.0 which comes with IBM OS/2 boot manager which will do what system commander will. System commander is a nice program but a real waste of money considering you can two other boot managers for free. If you like to play with hardware then Parition Magic is an essential tool. ie 4.00.950 B - SR2 isn't programmed to upgrade previously installed versions of Windows 3.x or Win95. Generally, it will refuse to install unless U begin with a blank Not exactly. Simply remove the win.com from your windows 95 directoru and you can install OEM SR2 on top of existing installs. I have done over a dozen installs this way with minimal problems. hard drive. Lastly, to use the FAT32 file system on an IDE hard drive, your motherboard or disk controller's BIOS must fully support logical block addressing (LBA) mode extensions for drives larger than 1024 cylinders (512 MB). U might want to stick with those larger FAT16 clusters for the time being. for the most part. My dell Xps 133c only support hd's upto 1024 cylinders and I have a 6.4 gig EIDE as one Fat32 parition. Windows 95 doesn't really use the BIOS for disk access. DOS does, but fat32 can be viewed from dos anyway so there is not really an issue there. :---) This version of Win95 has been sold at swap meets - unbundled.
