Co-exist! At home I've been able to get NT3.51, Win95, and WFW to coexist. I don't think I'll even bother with Win95 at work ... why have two 32 bit systems? The thing is I want to start gearing up to develop live server web pages and I need NT to do it! So ... good bye 95.The fdisk was to clear up some old problems. The formats were for real. The way I finally got it in was to format then put in a minimal dos, ie sys 6.22, config.sus, and autoexec.bat to load my CD. Then I ran Winnt.exe /b and all was well. The difference between my home and my work machine is that at work I run a fairly standard Dell pentium setup. At home everything is custom ... so it couldn't find drivers for the Panasonic CD, and wasn't sure how to handle a 10/100MB 3Com Ethernet card.
