Hi Bastiaan and all, PTSDOS can boot DOSlike OS from any drive. You need to install PTSDOS over your Win95 installation. It will ask if you want to save the "old DOS". If you do so, you can later boot PTSDOS (BTW, more than one coniguration is supported via menu in config.pts), the "old DOS" (aka Win95) or an other system from an other drive. To do this, you must rip the boot sector from this drive an save it to a file on your C drive and add an entry to config.pts.
