Title: Windows 95 hard drive question
Post by: NH2112 on June 20, 2006, 10:01:40 PM

I just installed Win95 on my old PC that I plan on using for some old flight sims. I have 2 hard drives in that system, a 10GB and a 4.3GB. The 10GB is my "C" drive, split into 5 2GB partitions. The 4.3GB drive was my "D" drive when I was running 98SE and was used as storage for downloaded files. However, it's not showing up in Win95 so nothing on it is accessible - downloaded drivers, files for sims, etc. I couldn't access it using fdisk when I formatted and installed Win95, either. Any ideas on what I can do to get my data?

If you are using Win95A it can only see and use FAT16 partitions. Win95 B and C can use FAT32. How are the drives set up with operating system, file system, etc.
