afaik, getting the bits and bytes moved electrically is
the least of the problems. i believe a large part of the
problem involved "special" files that are crucial to
win95, but are always in use and won't be copied by any
normal means. 
if i remember the article mentioned in my first reply 
correctly, moving a full win95 set involved booting off
a win95-panic disk and invoking xcopy with an armada of
special command-line parameters. 
and then the whole enchilada needs to be bootable...

i might just dig that magazine out, if i don't drop dead
in my bed first...

don't dispair (yet),
