>>Convert Win 95 FAT 16 system to FAT 32<< >How do I do this?< This capability is built into the Windows 98 installation program. One of the questions the installation program will ask you is do you want to convert your existing Windows 95 hard drive, partition, to a FAT 32 file system.

SW I think I may have not been clear enough. You can indeed to a new install on a formatted drive by using the upgrade disk. You just need to "fool" the upgrade into thinking you have the previous OS still on the system. That's where the other disks come in. When it can't find the OS on your hard drive, it will ask you where the OS is. You just point it to the floppy drive, and will then ask you for the disks. As far as going with FAT 32, it asks you if you want to use a system for "larger hard drives." (I think that is the wording.) You can't miss it since it's a blue screen with almost 2/3 of the screen filled with a text paragraph describing it. Len
