Have been using Windows 3.1 for past 5 years.  Recently purchased
co-workers computer, AST P166 loaded w/ Windows95 on its 2.1GB HD.

The bios of the AST sees the 850MB HD from my other computer, but I am
unable to get the AST Win95 to see this 850MB HD.  This HD was
loaded/formatted, in Win3.1.    This HD has some data I would like to
keep.  Plus some programs which I would rather not have to go through
the trouble of resetting again.

Any suggestions?
