Can I use FAT32 on Win95?

[Mark]

I just got a new hard drive for my old laptop for which I am going to have to install Win95. I noticed if I use FAT16(which Win95 is supposed to run), I can only get 2 gigs out of the hard drive. But if I use FAT32, I can double it and get 4 gigs. I am not certain, but if I remember correctly, didn't MS release an updated version of Win95 so it can use FAT32? I'm pretty sure I have the newest version of Win95, since it has USB support.




Thanks

Win95 OSR2 supported Fat32 but it was never officially available to purchase in a store - you had to get it from an OEM.

Yes, the newest version of Win95 had Fat32 support... I do belive

Actually, you can get more than 4 gig on FAT32. Yes, Ver. B and C support FAT32.
