          It sounds like the partition could have been inadvertantly converted to
FAT32.  If your version of Win95 doesn't support FAT32 and the partiton is converted to
FAT32, Win95 won't boot.  However, to verify what is happening, I will need to see some
additional information.  This information can be obtained by running a utility called
Partinfo.exe (it comes packaged with PartitionMagic).  Run Partinfo at a DOS prompt by
typing, "PARTINFO >INFO.TXT" then email me the INFO.TXT output file.

Take Care -- Jason M.
