Setting Up Windows 95

Hi,
I'm trying to set up Win 95 on the VM. Just as if it was a "real" computer
with a new HD, I first boot to disk and run fdisk to partition and format the
hd. Now, I keep getting this error that says "Windows Setup requires 7340032
bytes available on your C: drive". When I display the partition information,
c: is showing 16,379 mb (17174626304 bytes) available. Has anyone seen this
before or know of a fix for this?? So far, this program seems a bit buggy,
but it may be worth it for me to stick with it because of the things I can do
with it- Any help appreciated...

FDISK merely partitions the hard disk - it does not format any of the
partitions it creates.

Have you *actually* formatted the virtual hard disk using the command:
A:\format c:

Which program???

I *did not* in fact, format the drive. Guess I got spoiled with the XP
that directs you to take care of those little details.

I formatted the virtual c drive and it is working fine now. thanks for
your help.
