W95 and W2k

[Guest]

I wonder if it is possible to install w95 on one partion
of a SINGLE hd and w2k 0n the other if so which one could
be installed first; and on what partition, Prim or Ext?
Do they read each other file(s)? assuming I install w2k
with fat32.

although you can dual boot win95 & win2k

you may be better off going with win98 & win2k

win95 may need a patch to run on a faster cpu
and win95a cannot read a fat32 partition

any windows version , win95B and above can read fat32...
so as long as you do not install win2k on an NTFS partiton...
you should be ok

ideally you'd install win9x first...on your primary partition
then win2k on a logical drive

by default your system will dual boot
