    I want to load both Unix and Win95 in a single PC.

    I already know the procedure of installing win95 right from partioning the hard disk. Please tell me the step by step procedure to install 2 operating systems.


    Expecting your early reply...

    If the unix is linux, Linux describes several methods of doing this.

    I have not done this, but have installed DOS, Windows 98 and Windows NT all on one PC.
    I used PowerQuest Partition Magic to form different boot partitions, then you can install different operating systems on the same PC with no conflicts.May be this would help you.

    linux (at least red hat anyway) comes with a program called 'fips' - this allows you to partition your windows disk non-destructively (that is, it will add partitions without doing anything to the data on your hard drive), and you can install linux/unix on the new partition you create. if you get fed up with it, you can boot off a floppy, re-run fips and remove the partition, which gives you the partition back as free-space to your windows volume - you then run chkdisk or scandisk and your sorted. great little utility. if it is linux you are installing, look for fips.exe on the cd. i can send it to you if you need it. you will also find it on any decent linux site.

    you can use lilo (linux loader) to enable you to boot from either partition - that also comes with linux.
