I recently loaded windowsNT server on my comp and still run windows95.  The
only problem i have had so far running both system is my compressed drive
that i compressed under windows95 doesn't show up in windows NT.  I am very
new to NT and not sure if this is something i did or it has to do with the
FAT file system.  Any imput would be much appreciated.  a post or email
would be great

The reason that Windows NT doesn't see your drive is because they
compression algorithm in Windows95 is unrecognizable to Windows NT.  If you
decompress the drive Windows NT should be able to see it with no problem.
