   I had to install W95 a few months ago, but I also had to remove it, because the FAT of W95
caused many problems under plain DOS, and OS/2 too. I'm not an expert of W95, but I noticed,
that the two copies of the FAT are different under W95. So DOS and OS/2 may report lost clusters,
files or directories, and everything is ok under W95. So I don't recommend to use OS/2 disk
utilities in a W95 partition, I don't recommend to Use W95 at all, if it isn't absolutely necessery.
   But if you're going to use W95, don't attempt to run the DOS or OS/2 of CHKDSK on the W95
drive !
