> My immediate thought was that it's a problem with FAT16 vs. FAT32 -- were you running Win95 A or B previously? Windows supposedly has stuff to convert from one file system to another, and though I've never tried it, it wouldn't suprise me to find out that they didn't work as advertised :P

This was my first thought too, but while a OS that is srictly FAT16 would not be able to see a drive with a FAT32 partition (or at best report it as a NON-DOS), Win98 supports both, so wether the version of '95 had partitioned to FAT16 or FAT32 '98 shouldn't have had any problems with it. But a NON-DOS partition would be a different story. And while most of the time F-Disk sees and reports these as NON-DOS, I have seen cases where the drive didn't report at all.
