Which partition is marked as active? Win 95 must be on the active partition
on the first drive. Also, as I noted elsewhere, your problem may be from disk
druid, if you used that.
Win95 & DOS can have real problems tring to use partitions created with linux
fdisk. It's a general rule that you should use the fdisk provided with the
operating system you're installing. Thus my earlier recommendation that you
first create a 1Gb partition for Win 95 using the DOS/Win 95 fdisk & leave the
rest of the space unused. Partition that space with Linux fdisk, not with
disk druid. I understand that the newest version of Disk Druid has dealt with
some of the large disk problems, so should be better in the near future.
