I seem to remember not being able to get MS fdisk to work. This
seemed simply to be due to the fact that I had partitions it didn't
like the types of (ie. Linux ext2 & swap).

I usually end up partitioning under linux, then doing a 'format c:'
from my Win95 boot floppy before I install Windows. (I have a 1GB
partition that is used for occasional useful things such as
filesystem experiments, and from time to time has Win95 installed).
