Can anyone tell me if it's possible to multiple boot win95, 98, Me and Xp
pro on a second hard disk in my pc?

On my 1st disk I have 2000 Server when I try to install 95 or 98 I don't
get an option to select the second drive at all.

I can't even find the partition I create with fdisk when I reboot after
creating it (ie before formatting.)

Grateful for some assistance.

Thanks.

You can multi-boot 95 OR 98 OR ME with 2k and xp but not all of them unless
you get a 3rd-party multi-booter.

Doesn't matter that 2k is server. Boot Magic will do the job but I suggest
that you create a 2 g fat16 partition on the front of the drive to be used
as the boot magic partition and it'll be your C: drive. Of course, Boot
Magic is installed after the 1st os is installed but PowerQuest suggests
that the 2 g partition be created.
