I've never done this before, so I can't say whether it will work, but I
have hear that it does. But before I progressed from step 2 to step 3,
try booting into win95. It might be possible that "fdisk /MBR" wrote
back the current partition table (that's what I would do if I wrote
fdisk!) negating any need to do the dangerous steps 4 and 5.
