How can I muti boot my computer. I have 2 HDD's. The " C:\" Has win 95 and Drive " D:\" has Dos 6.22. I have some dos games which freezes in win 95, but works perfectly in dos 6.22. I want a menu in which I can choose win 95 or Dos 6.22. I have a 486 DX2 66 with 16 Megs 'o Ram

Big Shot, It's funny that you ask this as I did the very thing you spoke of last night. I think both Windows 95 and DOS 6.22 require they be the primary partition on the first drive to boot properly. However there is an easy way around this. Make a boot disk for 6.22 (format a floppy from MSDOS with the /s parameter). Then copy your autoexec.bat and config.sys files to your floppy drive. Make sure all files references used in both these system files point to their location on Drive C (I.E. if you have a device=himem.sys change it to device=c:\dos\himem.sys or where ever it's located on the hard drive, otherwise it will try to look for the files on the floppy disk). Then add these lines to the beginning of your autoexec.bat file: set comspec=c:\dos\command.com set path=c:\dos c: That's it! The first line is all that is really necessary as it 'transfers control' of DOS from the floppy to the hard disk, so make sure it points to the right directory. Also note that this will only work if your Windows95 hard drive is NOT FAT16. The reason being is because when you boot to the MS-DOS floppy, it cannot 'see' FAT32 partitions, so the floppy finds the fat 16 partition and then passes control over to it. After it's done booting you can remove the floppy and run MS-DOS as normal. Also when you want to boot to Windows95, just remove the floppy and reboot and it will automatically go to Win95 (Assuming that your win95 hard drive is the primary partition on disk 1. I have tried using fancy software such as System Commander and I have run into problems over and over. For me it is much easier just to use the boot disk to swap in between OSes. Hope this helps & let me know if you have questions / problems, -Michael

I think boot programs using MBR (Master Boot Record) are better solution. http://www.xosl.org/ Here you find best boot programs i've ever seen. It can boot any OS from DOS to Win2k and lots of Linux distributions on any partition. Now for ex. i have: C: - Win2K D: - DOS 6.22 E: - SlackWare F: - Win'98 se G: - my DVD :)
