win95 install...
if i want to install win95 over do i need to fdisk again or can i just run setup from the gui or from DOS?

You don't need to fdisk as you've already got a valid file systems then. I'd advise you remove your Windows directory and your Program Files directory first though, or format... Strange question for a Linux forum mind you... If you've got Linux on the same box the Windows installation will trash LILO so you'll need a boot disk to get your system back.

win95 question...
ok if i remove programs and windows (directories) and keep MY Documents then I will be able to do a new install and keep all of my personal stuff? is that correct?
the reason i ask is that my wife (she who must be obeyed) insists i keep some version of a microsoft product operable on the hard drive as i have already tried to go WIN-less in the past... of course, even win95 (my opinion: the best windows at the present) must be flushed and recreated at one point or another... thanks for the help! |
Ghost it
I know exaclt what you mean when you say

I installed Windows 98, updated it with all security patches etc, I installed all of my programs onto the second partition and then created a ghost image of the first partition. I keep the ghost image on the second partition and when Windows starts playing up I just dump the ghost image onto the first partition. It takes about 5 minutes and I have everything exactly as I want it. |
