Well, stred, you might want to make sure that you back up all the important files before you upgrade from FAT 16 to FAT 32 (just a word of caution). Converting the files to 32 does not delete the old files in 16, but it can render them useless. Besides Win 95 doesn't have FAT 32 only Win 98 and up. Win NT has a completely different FAT. I have four o/s on my one computer (which is a chore to do) and Win95 on my 486 DX 50 computer (yes you read that right!). On my other computer, I have Linux (Red Hat 6.2), BeOS, 98, and NT 4.0 (I hate 2000 professional). Each four requires a completely different file type. Thanks to Partition Magic, I was able to do that. For 98, I made sure that I began my partitioned drive as FAT 32, then I installed everything there.

For mir_ror, I believe you have Win95 right? If so, don't worry about converting the files from FAT16 to FAT32. You just might want to get yourself another hard drive.
