can i install win95 and win ME on a single system with 2 partitions ?
The problem is that ONce I have Win95 installed and I try to install WinME on the other partition , I always get " you already have an existing operating system, setup will end now " while attempting to run the WinME setup. I have WinME full version .. not an upgrade. Can I override that ? PLEASE HELP! khrist2k@yahoo.com

You need a utility like System Commander. You can't have two active boot partitions at the same time. The utility will switch active partitions so that you can install multiple OSs.
