windows95 is nice enough to re-write the bootsector so your computer
boots to Win95. With the IDE Controller, if Win95 changed its parameters
to a non-standard setting, you'll have to change it back. When I had
a seperate EIDE controller, it came with a disk to change the settings...
(Or I could just use a jumper on the board). Other than that, I have no
other suggestions. Hopefully, that helps.
Also, Go in to your Win95 control panel, then System, then view devices...
select the IDE controller and click on properties... it should tell
you something about the settings of the card.
