Thanks to all that offered suggestions. I managed to juggle my partitions (using Linux fdisk) without having to re-install anything, and created a Windows (FAT) partition as the first logical drive in the extended partition. As soon as I removed (or at least, changed the type) of the second FAT primary partition, the phantom drives went away, and when I formatted the D: drive in the extended partition, both Linux and Windows95 could see it just fine. The problem would appear to be that Windows gets confused when there is more than 1 primary FAT partition. The suggestions regarding hiding partitions would probably have worked also, but I really wanted to be able to copy data between the two, so that wouldn't have helped me much.
