This is to all ... i tried formatting floppies both ways: in win95b and DOS 7.1 (under
95b); but i find it's still faster in win95b and only uses 36 kbs overhead verses
56 kb overhead in DOS. And i don't have to do all the opening of a DOS window and
extra typing and stuff :)
PS: i have XP now too. Norton Ghost 2003 just added MS DOS 7.10 back to it to
make it bootable from a DVD backup if you ever lose the ability to boot up to the
XP Desktop (i already have once and lost everything - that's why i now have Norton
Ghost 2003 and 4 different bootable DVD backup discs of my entire system in varying
configurations such as before SP1 and WMP9 and DX9, and after, etc.).
My 95b has over 2 weeks uptime average between reboots and my XP's now is 70 minutes
average (they gotta stop all these hourly windows updates someday).
