I have to use SETUP.EXE on the cd cause my scsi cdrom is not supported (NCR - Mediavision external) and install from a dos partition. This is machines is a 386/dx-33 w/ 8megs and all seems to be fine though have not tried x yet. All this is in prep to install on a 6x86 w/ a 1.2 gig Western Digital drive in 3 partitions. C is 500 megs, D is 500 megs and E is about 250 megs. Win95 was installed in D when I got this machine and never changed it. I have a 400 meg slice I can take off the C partition but am wondering if this will screw up any of the other partitions for a dual boot? Will the 400 meg slice I take off c wreck any of my win95 stuff? Not that I really care anyway, I only use 95 for internet and networking stuff anyway. thanks. Keith
