I've seen this in a live machine. Windows 95 can have problems with HDDs > 8GIG if there is no BIOS support for interrupt 13 extensions. See their knowledge base article http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q153/5/50.asp?LN=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0&qry=LBA%20bios&rnk=5&src="DHCS_MSPSS_gn_SRCH&SPR=W95 for more info.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Re: [plex86] newbie - windows 95 installation warning
Don't worry about it. In the HTML docs kevin tells us not to use
scandisk... so just don't use it. Do
SETUP /?
To find out how to not run scandisk automatically, maybe it's /iv or
something.
As for what the problem is, incomplete emulation. Feel free to fix it,
but no one seems to want to...
