    Hi All,
    everytime i load windows 95 on my system, i get an error that i need to restart my computer. i think it maybe because i have multiple large hard disks drives that are fat 32 instead of fat 16. below is a detailed scematic of my system

    amd 1ghz
    1 20 gb hdd (partition x 3 1 for xp, 1 for win98se and 1 for win95)
    1 40 gb hdd (partition x 2 1 for games and 1 for setup programs
    1 80 gb hdd (1 partition for game backups)
    256 mb memory
    1 dvd rom
    1 cd-rw
    1 virtual cd-rom (has problems with win95 when working)
    SB Live Platinum
    geforce 4

    i use addawin to dual bot between win98se and win95.
    please let me know if more info is needed.

    thanks
    Brad

    For 32bit format and anything above 2gig you need no less than Win95b ( OSR2 ) which was not and is not a retail version.

    Win95 First Edition will not read anything above 2GIG. That is a DOS limitaiton not Windows.

    Just a question.

    With both 98SE and XP why do you need 95 anyway. 98SE will run anything that 95 would.
