getting NT and Windows95 to play nicely ...

[Linda Woods Hyman]

Hi. I have been having trouble getting my NT laptop to read Window95 floppy disks. The only way I've been able to do it successfully, is to format the disk on NT first. If I try to put this disk into a Mac, the Mac crashes. (The laptop is a corporate laptop so I'm not sure what's on there that might be figuring into this).

Anyway, my new workstation is using Windows95 second edition and now I cannot pass a floppy between the laptop and my workstation at all. I tried using the  "format a: /?"  command from DOS prompt and found that the allocation size of 64K is shared by both FAT and NTFS systems. However, this format did not solve the problem. Any ideas?? I'm tired of emailing myself to pass files back and forth. (I need a home network, huh?)
