Question:
Is it possible to install an alternative DOS in addition to the existing
DOS version in a Windows 95 machine so that Windows will think it is
a "previous" version of DOS so that you can have an option to boot to the
"previous" version of DOS?
In this case the alternative version of DOS is not really a "previous"
version of DOS because it would be installed *after* installing Windows 95.
I would like my Windows 95 machine to be able to boot to Caldera DR-DOS
instead of booting to its own version.
I surely hope I can get a correct answer on this question because I am
actually contemplating doing what I described in my question in the first
paragraph of this message. If I can do it, would somebody please outline
the correct procedure? I hope I will not have to first reformat my HDD
and start from scratch by first installing my "previous" version of DOS
prior to my installing Windows 95.
All the best,
Sam Heywood
