OK, I have found the boot.ini and have modified it as follows:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows 95"
When I boot up, a DOS type window with text appears, I select Windows
95, but it keeps going back to the same window, won't go to Windows 95
I have both harddrives on a single cable, the NTFS one is master, the
FAT is slave and they are on the second IDE (IDE2?)
I can select Windows 2000 and it runs fine, under 2000.
Are you saying there is no way to edit the boot.ini to get it to boot
95? What 3rd party booter do you recommend?
Thanks.

is
NTFS it won't be natively possible to do. Look for a third party boot

I have them on two seperate drives. The Windows 2000 install is
NTFS,
the Windows 95 FAT (or FAT32). I have the Windows 2000 as master
and
it boots to it and does identify the drive where 95 is on.
Supposedly,
I'm now to edit the boot.ini file and add something to it so it
gives
me the choice to boot to either one on startup. Problem is, there
is
no boot.ini. Any help appreciated.
