I switched a small HDD"540mb" from this computer to another one. It has Win95 and a bunch of games on it. So after letting the other computer recongize the drive, It looked like it was going to fire up,... then I get the screen "enter the command line ie. C:\Windows\Command.com. How do I get past this without formatting? I tried to just reinstall the Win95 but I get the HPFS message.

Hi Gary
It was an IRQ problem, I thought I posted that the day you did, I think I forgot to post after the preview. LOL
I did this with three drives, but first I went into the device Manager and removed all the entries, ALL OF THEM, (mouse last so I didn't have to use the Keyboard) before I hooked it up to the different Computer, . Another one, I left the Device Manager Settings, but reinstalled Win98 over Win98 before I booted to it, didn't save the old info.

Well I guess I'll try that then. I really didn't want to have to diconnect everything from this one again. It's a pain!

Yes it is !!!
But that way Windows will rediscover everything and reinstall all the nessasary drivers. Have your driver disks ready or install them after it boots. Good Luck Gary
