Hi, can anyone help? I'm trying to set up a PC to be able to boot into windows 95 OR windowsNT, I guess I'll have to partionion the hard drive, but how do I save my self having to reset the active partion each time I need to change OS.. Answers on a postcode (or e-mail fridge@globalnet.co.uk) The first 5 answers out the virtual bag get a signed e-mail from moi! Thanks in advance for any help, fridge :-))

Install Win95 then install WinNT. NT will automatically change the boot partition and everytime you boot up you will be a menu asking if you want to boot to Win95, Win NT or Win NT VGA mode.

After you install win95 reboot with the NT boot disk and choose (R) for rescue - assuming you have made a rescue disk. Then it will eventually give you a choice of what to recover, just pick the boot files choice and it will detect win95 and let you do a dual boot. I had to do this and it works :) I already had a dual boot with DOS but the win95 boot files got creamed (long story) and when I fixed them I lost the dual boot option. Dave
