     Hello,
    
    I have tried to turn my PC to a dual boot machine running Windows 95 &
    Windows NT V 3.51 with no luck.  
    
    I have one physical disk partitioned to two FAT logical drives C & D. 
    I started with installing  Windows NT on C.  Next I installed Windows
    95 on Drive D.  However, after powering up the machine I was not given
    a menu to choose operating systems and by default Win 95 was booted. 
    Figuring the problem could be that I installed NT first & then 95, I
    formatted C & reinstalled NT thinking this would make it just work. 
    After power up although I got the boot menu but there was no mention of 
    Win 95.  I even tried to manually edit boot.ini and add the following 
    line D:\="Windows 95".  However, choosing this option from the menu it
    gives a trap fault.
    
    I suspect that since the CDs that I am installing from are not upgrade
    CDs they are not designed to coexist & detect others operating systems. 
    Any ideas?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Bardia.

    Do it the proper way.  Install Windows 95 first (cleanly), then install
    Windows NT.
