if so, i was never talking about win95 in the first place, just what it did
to my drive, someday i'd like to actually use some sort of other os besides
slackware and win95, in order to do that i need to repartition my drive.

but actually, i found a way to convert a fat32X partition over to a fat32
partition, i've tried it and well it took forever, even required you to edit
the master boot record. unfortunatly in the end it didn't work, because i
had 2 partitions. luckily i had kept a copy of my boot sector on a floppy.

if anyone is interested on how it's done check out

i know what the problem is, and it's all my fault actually, when i got my
drive and put it in and went into fdisk it was still set for 'normal' in my
BIOS not LBA, what it should have been at, that's why it created a FAT32X
partition, now if i would have used fdisk /X it would have ignored the int13
extension support and created a fat32 partition.

so really all i need to do now is try and backup the 4.4gb partition, and
redo everything, hopefully it'll work. to bad partition magic didn't let you
just convert fat32x to fat32.
