You shouldn't need the new hardware wizard when adding a disk drive.
You have to bring up the BIOS setup program (look at your screen as
the computer boots, use the "Pause" key to stop it temporarily, hit
any key to restart, there will be instructions on how to access the
setup program). In the BIOS program you have to tell it to look for
the new disk. Assuming that you have the jumpers, power, and data
connections correct, the BIOS will then find your disk. You then must
run FDISK to create one or more partitions on it. On your next bootup
those partitions will be assigned "Drive letters". You can then format
your new "drives" and they will be ready to use.

If you format the hard drive and have the BIOS set correctly Windows
95 will just see and be able to use it in nearly all circumstances.

Good Luck,
J.

Scenario:
Dual boot main computer: WinME/PCLinuxOS - 700 Pentium III, 40Gig Hard
Drive
Second computer: Win95 - Celeron 366, 10Gig Hard Drive

Interesting facts:
1. My windows 95 setup runs as fast as the Windows ME system.
2. Windows ME was having problems with Internet Explorer 6.0sp1 so I
downgraded to 5.5SP2 and it's very stable again.
3. Open Office runs equally well on PCLinuxOS, Windows ME, and Windows
95, even though it didn't find Java when installing on 95. It appears
to make no difference in functionality.
4. According to my computer illiterate wife PCLinuxOS is easier to use
than Windows ME. She has actually been able to install programs and
change her own password in PCLinuxOS.

I want to say a special "thank you" for whoever the Microsoft guru was
that gave me the link to on-disk.com.

Yes, Internet Explorer 5.5 was hard to find. I tried the evolt.org
download and it just gave me a bunch of DOS errors that quickly
disappeared and wouldn't install IE5.5.  Against my better judgment I
checked with on-disk.com as a Microsoft guru in this news group
recommended and got the full install version of Internet Explorer 5.5
SP (service pack 2). To my surprise it installed perfectly and is
running great on both Windows ME and Windows 95.

Yes, Linux can be easier to install and use than Microsoft Windows.
PCLinuxOS is easier to use. You can even run it just from the CD
without changing anything on the computer to test it out.  I ended up
installing it and an rarely go into Windows ME anymore.

When I was at on-disk getting IE5.5 I saw the CD for Open Office and
got it along with PCLinuxOS (a great review there by the way). I was
already using Open Office on my Windows ME computer but sometimes that
system is occupied by my wife and wanted it on the Windows 95 system
also. The cool thing about on-disk is that you can get about anything
downloaded and sent to you on a CD, a great thing if you use dialup
like we do and want to download huge things like operating systems.
