You need to first install Win95 using the "standard FAT system with your CD drivers loaded. After you have gotten to the point where you have initialized the hard drive using Win95 without FAT32, you need to setup a bootable diskette with Fdisk, and your CD Driver files (DOS). You have to have the CD drivers loaded via the Config.sys file on the diskette and loaded mscdex properly to access the CD. When you make the bootable disk after the first setup you then boot using the diskette and run Fdisk again, this time you remove the partition you made using the first install, reboot and fun Fdisk again this time it will ask if you want to use large hard drive access. Say yes and setup your hard drive again, this time it will allow you to use the entire hard drive capacity. Unfortunately, MS could have given you a bootable diskette which would have allowed you to do this without all the hassle, who knows why they didn't???? FAT32 is really nice but its questionable whether it is worth it.
