Don't know how many, but Win95 did make my C: drive unreadable right
after install.  Just think how I feel after Win95 don't boot,
startup-disk boot but UNINSTALL or FDISK or SCANDISK cannot do
anything.  Finally I swap the floppy drive in the CMOS setup and boot
from my old 5.25" disk of DOS 6.00 which I made years ago and happen
to have Norton Disk Doctor on it.  NDD fix my 1st FAT, and Win95
finally boot from my C:.  Without NDD I will have to reformat my C:.

Don't know about OS/2 -- never use it before.  Right now I only know
that Win95 is quite bad.  BTW how to make Master of Orion run under Win95
without reboot to "DOS mode"?
