Problem multibooting Win XP/ Win 95

I have set up my computer to multiboot with Win XP and Win 95.
After a cold boot, when I select Win XP from the OS selection screen I receive the message: "Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem . . . ."
However, when I restart my computer, I can select Win XP and everything works just fine.
I have no idea how to fix this. I've tried reinstalling, editing the boot files, etc. All to know avail.
Has anyone experienced this before? any help would be appreciated
