How big?

Hi KC:

How big is your hard drive?

If it's bigger than 2GB, then you're going to have to use a Win95 "B" version BOOTDISK (with its FDISK program) to partition the hard drive into one partition bigger than 2GB. If you're using an "A" version bootdisk, that version can only "see" the first 2GB of any hard drive larger than 2GB (and stops there).

Another option for "A" version users is to partition a large hard drive into 2 or 3 separate 2GB partitions. More than 3 partitions can be set up using "logical" drives, but it gets a little messy.
