Win95 on FAT32?
For the life of me, because its been awhile since I played with Win95 .. I
cant remember if there are any issues about installing it on a FAT32 formatted hard drive. Do I have to make it a FAT16 formatted hard drive? Something is niggling me that it should be FAT16 but I just can't remember. Rider Rider |

Re: Win95 on FAT32?
FAT32 Support started with Windows 95 Service Release 2 (OSR2). In the
service release two series there was 2.0, 2.1 and 2.5 all of which support FAT32. These three versions inside of Windows 95 were displayed as a "B", "b" and "C" versions. The service release 2 series was only released OEM, there was never any retail versions produced.

Only Service Release 2 and later actually support FAT32, I don't think there are any issues if you have one of these versions. |
