PartitionMagic by PowerQuest see
Webpage: http://www.powerquest.com/
allows divide drive into several partition and make up to 4 primary
bootable partitions. So you can copy (using PartitionMagic) whole
partition with Win95, reboot and start in new greated partition and
update it. Use Pqboot to change active partition, it hiddes the second
(unactive) partition automatically. A floppy version is enough for
this job. See
