How can I operate multple operating systems on one computer?

I've get an HP laptop computer with XP medium operating system. I have a separate fence outside of this OS setup of about 10,000 mb. I want to install window '95 on this separate partition. Is this possible and if yes how can I establish which OS is loaded at power on?


Answer:

You can... When you install multiple OSs, a boot manager kick in when you power on, and you own to decide which one to nouns. After several seconds near no response it boots the default one (Win XP I assume).



Why window 95??? Go with Linux.
one passageway is with VM ware.
Buy a program approaching partition tricks to divide your hard drive into multiple partition. Then install a different OS on each separator. Good Luck
I did it with Linux and Windows and have a front end gui to choose the OS.

HOW TO: Create a Multiple-Boot System surrounded by Windows XP
never done it backwards, i run win98 win2k and xp on the same computer.



if you install from the elder to newer it gives you choices while installing and blind shows up at boot showing all operating systems



you can install win 95 on other screen but only win 95 will work unless you find someone that know how to write a boot ini file
You might want to consider the virtual contraption suggestions made above, because dual-booting XP and 95 requires you to install 95 first.

Well if you want windows 95 to work near XP you better make sure XP uses the behind the times FAT file system and not the up to date NTFS.
