Even w. Win95B, the default is to use FAT16, which cannot handle drive 
partitions larger than 2 gigs... have you explicitly installed FAT32? If 
not, you are using FAT16.
(You can confirm this by right-clicking on your C: icon in 
MyComputer/Explorer, and choosing Properties from the popup menu... it will 
say: Local Drive (FAT32) if FAT32 is installed).
You can use Win95B's FDISK to convert from FAT16 to FAT32, but it will 
destroy your drive's contents in the process. A better solution is to 
purchase PowerQuest's Partition Magic, or wait for Win98, both of which 
offer non-destructive conversions.
