Two seperate drives, one OS per > drive. How can you set it up to dual boot, mainly win95, but OS2 when needed? For OS/2 & Win95, you need OS/2's boot manager. This takes a small partition, so you have to set up OS/2 first, and then add W95. When W95 has finished istalling, you need to reactivate the OS/2 boot manager - see the readme.txt file in your Windows directory for this. For Win98, Win95 & NT, you have to install them into separate directories. If you have Win95 installed, and then add WinNT, you'll have a choice to load NT or "DOS" from your boot. In fact DOS is set up in the boot.ini file, and points to the Win95 startup. If you then install Win98 into a different directory, you can edit boot.ini, and add a line to point to that startup - I can't remember the format, but just copy the original and edit it appropriately.
