There are three choices here.
1.) The first is to *force* Windows 95 to live on the same partition as Dos, but
not to kill it. You would also have to fix it so Win95 does not boot
automatically.
2.) The second option is to run some sort of Boot Manager and have two C:
partitions. One would have Dos, the other Win95. On starting up the machine, you
would select which one to use. To change the OS, you have to reboot. (I think
Partition Magic can sort this out for you.)
3.) The last alternative is to force Dos or Win95 to live on another partition
and be happy about it. I know this can be done, but it is not easy. Both OSs
expect to be on the first partition.
The software engineer in me would love to try to get option 1 or 3 working but,
if I were you, I would probably go for the second option. ;-) I run NT, which
can go in (almost) any partition.
Cheers,
Andrea
