Yes, that's what I would assume you would get, nothing wrong there.

Yes. But as always in these cases copy all files you have created yourself
to another (physical) drive. As long as you know what you are doing and
also doing so nothing bad will happen, this is just a safety issue.

If you use FIPS (and you haven't used it before) I would really suggest
backing up everything you've done first. The programs in the computer are
of a minor issue IMHO since you can just install them again.
A word of note however, if the CD is moved (from G to H or F for instance)
then Win95 can create problems for you. This is however rather easily fixed
("deltree windows" will not work <g>), check the settings on the CD and
choose the drive letter it shall have.
