Win95 Software install

Hi!

Nope, only thing is that it becomes very hard for admins to keep track of user files and program installs.

When a user gets a computer which is partioned in this way it's more likely user will screw things up.

The simplier the better, besides if you also connect them to shares they need to save files on like home dirs, app dirs, common dirs and so on + cdrom and shit, it can quickly become quite confusing sionce they will soon have 10+ units in explorer.

I would talk company into moving to FAT32, there's really no reason not to, at least not any more.

This can be done the only concern would be how will the applications be used,considerng that FAT16 takes up quite a bit of disk space,so their will not be much space left to save anything like files on the HD.It is more prone to crashes and corruption when the hard drives are partitioned in this manner.A waste of disk space

I don't see a problem with this, although it may make for more difficult administration or troubleshooting if you don't standardize. We pondered this same question where I work, and decided to place all apps on the same drive for ease of administration. You can get quite a few apps installed on a 2GB partition. If all files created on these apps are saved to a server, then the local partition really shouldn't grow very much in size. If you elect to install all your apps on one partition, you may want to move the location of the temporary internet files to another partition, especially if your users frequently access the Internet.
