I'm about to reinstall Windows 95, and I've got a couple of questions I'd
appreciate an answer to.

1. I have partioned my hard drive into two (C:\ and D:\). Will formatting
C:\ affect anything on D:\ - which I'm using to store backup files? I very
much doubt it would, but want to be sure...

2. My CD drive is going to die sometime soon. At the moment, it doesn't
read some CD's, occasionally reads some, and always reads some. The Windows
95 CD is one it occasionally reads. To make sure I don't have to wait for
it, I want to copy the installation files to D:\. Am I right in saying the
Win95 directory is all I need to copy?

Thanks,
Blair

It is not supposed to.  Make sure your fingers are on the correct
row of keys.

Correct, unless you need the USB supplement or Hover game (g).

Thanks for that. Don't worry, I'll be triple-checking the format command
before I push enter...

Yeah, I might have to copy Hover as well... :D
