I installed it on a usbflash drive.

Hello,

please use code-tags in your post. As far as I can see, the Win95 partition is nearly empty. I'd recommend that you create one or more new partitons instead of the Win95 partition.

Afterwards reinstall the system on the new partitons, mount your old / (root) partition and copy your personal data into the new installation. If you do this, you may consider to create a swap-partition.

Could you please provide more information about the hardware of the computer, it seems quite old.
