Just a few things:
* Win 95 doesn't support drives over 8 GB.  Even if you only partition a
small partition of a larger drive, you are going to run into to
problems.  Use 98 or NT 4.0 service pack 3 or 4.  I assume that your
bios is reading the drive settings properly (e.g. your bios supports
extended int 13, and drives over 8 GB).

* How are you trying to partition the drive?  What software?

IMHO, I have found that using NT's disk admin (4.0 sp 4) is the best way
to deal with multiple os's.
