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
