Is your D: drive a FAT32 (Win98) drive? If so, Win95 won't see it.

just to be sure, the comp did have 95a on it befor? can you click start\run\ type in D: press enter , does it go to it? in control panal/system/device manager is it listed under disk drives? is there any yellow flags?

first go into bios setup and be sure it is listed there.

Make sure that your BIOS is setup to recognize two hard drives.

As per the above post, Win95 won't recognize FAT32 or drives over 540 MB.
