     Hi there,   
      I have an old 486dx2-33 with 4M RAM that I am trying to get Win95 onto. I've   
   got a 2G hard drive in it, have managed to get Linux down and using the whole   
   drive, want to try and get Win95 down now.   
      I've got a 2.5" to 3.5" converter for installing the OS through a desktop   
   box, as the laptop doesn't have a CD. Install goes well, I stick the drive back   
   into the laptop and boot with MaxBlastPLus 1.24 (Version 3 won't boot) from the   
   floppy, but it wants to format the drive. If I do that, I don't believe I can   
   install the OS back in the desktop (finds a compressed filesystem or some such   
   error).   
      Any suggestions as to how I can go about getting Win95 happening with the   
   overlay software? It won't boot without it.
