Unless the data on your disk is utterly worthless, you really do NOT
want to get rid of this. Win95 employs write-behind, but it's a little
less mature that which is used in other environments. If you let your
machine boot on a filesystem that wasn't cleanly unmounted, you risk
damaging data in ways that won't show up for an indeterminate period of
time.

Do you use your machine for anything other than playing games and
web-browsing?
