WRONG Again!!

Win95 boot files must be installed on the first Primary partition,
while the system files can be installed on any other drives, just like
you are installing DOS (Win95 boot files) and then Windows 3.1 (Win95
supporting files) on an intel machine.

Actually, if you install Win95 (or DOS) first, and then WinNT, WinNT
loader will have an option to choose during the bootup process, where
you can choose either Win95 (or DOS), or WinNT if you have them
installed.
