Greetings- Joel is correct, you must be using Fat 16 not NTFS. If you are using FAT system and you have NT installed first you can install Win 95 by booting from a DOS boot disc (w/cdrom drvs.)then install 95 however, the instalation will overwrite the bootsector of the drive and NT will no longer start -when the system starts it will go directly to WIN95. To correct this run the NT setup again,this will restor the boot sector and give you the option of WindowsNT,WindowsNT VGA,Windows95 at startup. Hope this helps Wayne Gilmore Joel Rieke <yoda@nwrain.net> wrote in article <01bca3a4$68167ec0$64dc86cd@Yoda>... > You must have a FAT (not NTFS) in order to have a dual boot machine. > If you installed NT under NTFS and that's the only partition you have -- > get > ready to ffffformat your hard drive.
