Is it possible to install more then one copy of win95 on a system, like
win95 and OSR2.

They'd have to be seperate though, I am not asking if I can install osr2
over win95.

I have PM (partition magic 3.0), and os/2's bootmanager around...

But since they both must occupy drive C:, I can't figure out a way that
they both could be installed.

Thank you, and if possible can replies be CC'd to my email address just
in case i miss them here? Thank you again.

First you RESIZE your c: down to size you want and then use CREATE on
the free space and make it a primary partition. Hide the original c:
and INSTALL Boot Manager. Then exit and boot from floppy and format
c:/s and you are ready to install on clean bootable partition. Have PM3
ready because when you install 95 it will deactivate Boot Manager and
you will want to reactivate it after install.

You can make a floppy of PM3 by copying PQMAGIC.EXE, PQMAGIC.OVL and
PQMAGIC95.DAT onto a 1.44 floppy, they just fit or make a bootable
floppy and put PQMAGICT.EXE on it and you have a TEXT (non-graphical)
version of PM3. I find it easier than working from HD.
