FAT32 partition - Why can't I see my hard disk when I start my computer from a floppy disk?

If your hard disk has a FAT32 partition and your start-up floppy disk is not from Windows 95 version 4.00.950 B or later, MS-DOS will not recognize the FAT32 partition when
booted from the floppy disk. To update the version of MS-DOS to be compatible with FAT32, start Windows 98 Second Edition, click Start, point to Programs, and choose MS-DOS Prompt. Then insert the floppy disk into the disk drive, and at the MS-DOS command prompt, type "sys a:", and press Enter. Then type "exit" and press Enter.
