: : posted to this site earlier, "My computer origanally ran W95, because of crashes, I decided to install Win NT... I tried a W95 install with the boot disk, but when scan disk runs it stops at File Allocation Table and freezes. When I select "display more information" it says "out of memory"." : : My problem is very similar. I installed NT, and everything seemed to be running great (ie, it was dual-booting and such). The system was turned off accidentally while running Windows 95, and when re-booting, it ran scandisk as it normally does when the system is shutdown improperly. Anyways, scan disk starts with my F drive (normally it starts with c) and just doesn't do anything. When I go to "more info" it says "Out of memory." Then when I exit out, it won't let me go into Windows. By the way, NT still boots and runs fine. Just 95 is giving me problems. Any help or solutions? Thanks, Christian Cheney

Personally I think you're better off to reinstall 95 over the old version. If you need to save files, then log into NT, if your win95 has been converted to FAT32 then you will need to download the free version of FAT32.exe and install it to enable you to read (only) the win95 partition. Copy the data over, use the win95 rescue disk to boot and erase the windows directory in w95 (include Program Files etc..) then reinstall it. The booting will be the same as before.
