(The first one (C drive) is devoted to Windows 95). Before the install, should I run fdisk from dos and set the D drive as an extended partion or dos partition? Or should it be untouched? Once this is done, how can I do a dual boot -- select to go into Win 95 or BSD? Which operation system should I use to write to the master boot record about this dual boot? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks Shiney
