///////////////////////////////////////////////I have Win95 on Drive E:,
WinNT on Drive C: & OS/2 on Drive G: and everything works great !!!!!
Win95 probably puts the bootfiles on the first drive but the rest goes
where you tell it.
Switching cables is BONK !
I think that the easiest way to fix this is to boot to Win95 then
install WinNT from Win95. This will setup NT's Boot Manager
automatically.
