I would like to run windows 95 and XP, on the same computer Options

[Billy]

There is an old game I want to play, called Betrayal At Krondor, that refuses to run on windows XP due to it's 16 bit nature. Oh, and the fact that it is a DOS game. So instead of booting up my old machine that's locked deep away in my closet and switching back and forth from it to my main, I think it would easier to just have two operating systems on this computer. However, I'm not entirely sure how to do that. I know some of you guys have done it before and was wondering if I could get a little advice.

make ur partition smaller at the end of the disk and at the end make a new one that reasonable enough for your needs in the FAT16 allocation

problem is, he needs a big chunk of contiguous free space, which isn't how hard drives (especially under windows) are in the habit of storing they're data. Last time I resized a partition, the actual data stored on the drive was about 36GB on a 100GB partition, and after countless defragmentations, the largest chunk I could get contiguous was I think something like 6gb.

He'd be better off trying to find a Win95 image, downloading a virtual PC application, such as Microsoft Virtual PC (or something else, iunno the specifics on it) and installing win95 on the virtual drive.
