>re: except that W95 won't address the drive as 'one volume', which is corrected in W98! Actually, the enhancement to allow drives larger than 2 Gb as a single volume is contained in the "B" rev. of Windows 95, which began shipping in July/August of 1996. To do this, you have to use "Fat32", and you have to reformt the hard drive and specify "large drive support" when you run FDISK. Also, this revision of Win95 is only available by buying a new PC, motherboard or disk drive. A copy of Win95 manufactured TODAY for retail sale (e.g. in a box at CompUSA) is STILL the original August 95 release (which is TWO versions earlier than the "B" revision). Your "used" drive will be repaired and sold as a "refurbished" model at a significant discount, and will probably carry a 90 day or one-year warranty vs. a 3-year warranty on most new drives. I buy a lot of "refurbs", and for the technically knowledgeable individual, it can be a good deal, but it is only for those who are self sufficient with respect to support.
