You got it, WWin95 is still Fat16/Dos while 98 recognizes Fat32. Fat16
will not recognize/use partitions bigger than 2gb in size. So you either need
to re partition the drive with FDisk making sure not to enable Fat32 and
keeping all 20 or so partitions under 2gb.

Why the problem with 98? 98SE is pretty stable and doesn't those wonderful
problems that 95 did but still has the same features. Or are you putting this
on a resource limited machine?
