I recently attempted to install WindowsNT onto my hard drive which already had
Windows95, using Partition Magic.  I followed the instructions in the manual, and
used the included boot manager.  However, when I tried to run Windows95, it prompted
me to
"C>Enter your command interpreteur(e.g.C:\Windows\command.com).  I couldn't figure
out what the problem was.  Can anyone help?
