I recently setup win95 OSR2 using the FAT32 file system setup to dual boot
with NT 4.0.
The only way that I was finally able to combine these two was to use system
commander.  I have no ties to the company but I am very impressed with how
quickly and easily you can set up and change partitions on drives.
