I decided to install SuSE v6.4 on Igor and used YaST to change unused HD partitions to type 83 from vfat. The SuSE installation proceeded without incident. However when I rebooted the machine into Win95 I found that the file manager is not functional. The same thing happens with either Explorer or PowerDesk; the file manager opens but fails to read the directory tree into the left side of the display and then hangs.
One useful thing to test is whether Win95 can see the drives at all, let alone the files on them. You can check that out with "My Computer", or Win Explorer, or Control Panel/System. That at least will narrow the problem down. There's also some question as to the correct partition types, at least the ones that Win likes. I'm using: extended partition f Win95 Fat16 (LBA) e Win95 Fat32 b If you try to set up partitions with Linux fdisk, you'll see some alternatives for these, and those alternatives might not work.
