dual boot?

Do this:

1. Boot the machine with a Win95 boot diskette.
2. Type this command:
sys c:
This will restore your Win95 boot capability.
3. Get a copy of bootpart.exe from
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/gvollant/bootpart.htm
4. Type this command:
bootpart win95 c:\win95.sys "Windows 95"
This will create a Win95 boot sector file. It will also include a
Windows 95 menu item in c:\boot.ini.
5. Type this command:
bootpart winnt boot:c:
This will restore the Win2000 boot process (which you destroyed
in step 2. above).
6. Pause and think for a moment how much longer you want to
persist with an obsolete, inferior and unsupported operating system.

thankyou, I just got your reply and will try tonight. If I can get the items (address book, etc off of win. 95 plus other files) then 95 is gone.

You're supposed to back up your important file once every
week, and before a major operation, not after disaster
strikes . . .
