Windows 95 OSR2 created it so I'll have to assume that this is what is
required.

Isn't OnTrack just to bypass the limit in the BIOS of 8.4G? None of my 3
Pentiums have that limit so my interest in the program is extremly small.
(Only one of them actually has a HD that's over 8.4G - the 10.1G) The
problem with getting more than 8.4G usable is that 8.4G is the limit set by
FAT16. Or have I completly missunderstood this?
