My system is currently set-up for dual-booting (W2K & W98SE). I'd like to install Win95c on the PC as well (nostalgia). Is W2K
capable of triple booting? If so, I'd sure appreciate knowing how!

Thanks,
Vic
 
Yes but you need to install win95 first.

Dave, being W2K is already set-up and runninng, and W95 is NOT installed, is
there any way to have W2K recognise W95 and provide that boot option as
well, e.g. start from W2K CD and repair boot loader. Would that work?

I think win95 must be installed on the active partition which also will need
to be fat16

A 3rd-party boot manager would seem to be a way of doing this. Get it to
replace the MS boot manager, test both current sys, then add W98. There
are several such BMgrs, freebies on the net, several very reliable and
discussed from time to time in these newsgroups. Much more capable than
MS's BM, offering many good intersystem protective capabilities.

It could be fat32 Dave, if w95 is version b or c. If it's version a
then it must be fat 16.

Either case; adding win95 to this existing setup using the native boot
loader is going to be difficult at the best.

Win95 must boot from the first active partition on a drive. Thus, you'd
need 2 hard drives, with the Win9x systems installed on the first partition
on each. Then install Win2K and see if it will see both Win9x
installations.

It's a relatively easy matter to edit the BOOT.INI file in C:\ to tell the
loader to look for another install. Notepad will do it.
