Its somewhat problemmatic dealing with Win95 because of the common Program Files directory but System Commander is a god send. I've set my machine up this way DOS 6.22 English/Japanese/Chinese on Primary partition on HD0 Win3.1 (All versions) installed on Jaz Drive, Win31.ENG, Win31.JPN etc... Win95 English, Japanese, Chinese(S/T), Korean and several european versions on Primary partition on HD0. Windows NT 4 on Extended partition on HD1 I seem to remember that installing Win95 and OS/2 created some problems, I belive they are outlined in the System Commander documentation. I haven't used OS/2 since I upgraded to Warp Connect. John
