   Thanks for the Link.   
   I read it and clicked the links to two others and then a few hours later   
   I read three more articles on MS's site.   
      
   Looks like FAT32 HDD's for W95 OSR2 can be as large as 2TB.   
   I didn't think EIDE HDD's came that big.   
      
   I just want a few more than 1.3GB's when I replace it.   
      
   Thanks for the Heads Up.
