if you wanted to set up your computer so that it would start up in windows 95 or windows xp,?

Question

you would go to the disk management area of the computer management window and create;
an os/2 or an extended partition or an primary partition or a multitasking controller?

Answer 1

first install windows 95 in a separate partion
and install windows Xp in another partion
this will solve the problem

Answer 2

If you want to have a computer running more than one os on it. That is something that should have been done prior to installing one os on it. The proper way to install more than one os on a system, is to partition the drive into how ever many os you wanna put on it, format each partition. Then install the os on each partition in the order of the oldest to the newest os. So if u wanted 2 put both win95 and winxp on a system. Format the drive into 2 partitions, install win95 1st (on the 1st partition), and then winxp 2nd (on the 2nd partition). If you already have either os installed and not the other, the only other way to go, would be to use a 3rd party program like partition magic (not really recommended).

Answer 3

extended partition. Rename the partition. Install nto desired partition. You´d use Northon GHOST to do that. Just check "all users" on the partition you´d create. When installing win 95 it´ll ask you which partition you´d use, point to the one you want...

After that...there are other cheap solutions to partition. Just google search "partition manager for free"

Answer 4

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but it sounds like you have both operating systems on your computer and want a choice at boot time of which OS to boot into? If so, all you need to do is edit your boot.ini. There's a decent walkthrough and explanation of how to do this at http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/bootini.htm
