Win95 can be installed in a dual boot config but you would need a
separate partition for it. Especially if you are using
NTFS for WinXP home. You could do that with a Partition Manager like
Partition Magic but there's always the
risk of screwing up and loosing all your data. I would get a small
cheap hard drive and install Win95 on it. All you
would need is a few gigs. Here is some info on the dual boot.
