Hahahaha. :) Ah well the success of any great consultalt lies not in having all the answers inside his(her) head but in belonging to a cool list like this! > Not with a 486.

I thought that since he had Win95 chances were he had FAT32 but I had heard something about 486s generally using FAT16. So, the big question is if he is using FAT16.. would the Defrag program automiatically detect this and take it into account when defragging?? Garfield
