ok, this is a little complicated, as my system is a bit cobbled together...
i have a k6-2 35MHZ with 64MB on a Asus P5-B motherboard. i am running win95OSR2 in fat16 mode.
i currently have 2 hard disks (1.4gb and 3.2gb i think) which are partitioned into 4 drives of about 1 GB each. still with me?
and i have windows installed on my D drive because after it crashed a year ago i just couldn't get it to re-install on my C drive.
basically, i wan't to get a decent sized hard drive, 10-15gb probably, but i am not sure about the following things:
(A) how big drives/partitions will OSR2 support. will i have to change to FAT32 to support a drive that big? will this mess anything up?
(B) will the fact i have programmes installed on different drives mean i have to keep them on the same drives (c:, d:,etc..) for windows to still be able to find them? or can i just consolidate them all onto one drive?
(c) if i can consolidate everything onto one drive without messing everthing up, will it have to be the D: drive, because that is were windows is currently held?
i hope that is slightly clear...any help would be appreciated.

ps/ i am also going to upgrade my processor/memory fairly soon, but wanted to get this out of the way first. but the new processor k6-2+ will mean i need to change to either win98 or winME.
