It seems that you are right. I removed hda4 and recreated it as one big FAT32
partition, loaded Win95 nad it has no problems. Annoying since I really didn't
need that much disk space for Windows but it'll have to do until I can create a
dedicated windows machine and get my linux box back to the way its supposed to
be.

Yup, this rumor is true. I'm not among the ranks of the blissfully married :-)
Not nearly as bad as folks say it should be. Of course, we got married on July
30th so we are still in the "honeymoon" stage.
