Is that true ? I've heard that you can install Win95 over an NT/Dos  FAT
install by first creating a repair disk, installing 95 and then running
the NT reapir procedure.

Here's an excerpt(<--Is that spelled right ?) from the ZDNet "Tip of the
Day" mailing list. Please let me know if this is wrong.

----------------------------------------- Excerpt
TWO BOOTS ARE BETTER THAN ONE
Want to install Windows 95 on a computer that's already running
Windows NT? Here's how to do it. First, if you don't have an
Emergency Repair Disk for the NT installation, create one using the
RDISK utility in the %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32 directory. If you're
already booting between Windows NT and MS-DOS, boot into MS-DOS and
install Windows 95. Make sure you don't install Windows 95 to the
Windows NT %SystemRoot% directory.

After Windows 95 is installed, restart the computer. You should see
the Windows NT Flex Boot Loader, and you should have a choice between
MS-DOS and Windows NT. To run Windows 95, choose MS-DOS, and Windows
95 will start. 

----------------------------------------- End Excerpt

Also: you can edit the c:\boot.ini file to rename the boot option to
"Windows 95".


Hope it helps.
