It's possible to install SATA drivers for Win98 in Win95? My HDD 320GB SATA II, mobo Asrock K7nF2RAID.

It should be possible [theoretically], but Win95 is a much older OS, which means doesn't have some system updates that might be necessary for SATA driver support [?].

I know Win98 and especially Win98 SE have been tested by MSFN members, and it usually works ok, if you also consider also the old fdisk, format, scandisk + defrag tools included with Win95.

There is an update [scanFrag]:

but some of those tools may not work properly, which means you may lose some data from your HD(s). Please read this thread about updated HD tools limitations:

Some of those guides apply also to Win95 OSes.

I would backup the entire OS 1st, then install the SATA drivers, and then see if it works properly.

You can always restore your OS from the backup if anything goes wrong.
