It's actually rather easier than either of the two options in the
messages you've repeated. It boils down to:
1) Install a second HD
2) Use Fdisk to create a primary partition on it (at least as big
as the existing D partition as it will become D). Other partitions to
personal choice.
3) Boot from floppys (using the install disks and escapeing via F3 is
the easiest route) and copy (using XCOPY) the full drive D data from the
existing drive D (it will be E now) to the new drive D.
4) Use FDISK to delete the existing D partition on the first drive, and
then create a boot manager partition and a primary partition in the rest
of the space.
The existing data will all be unchanged, the remaining partitions
on the primary will have the same drive letters as before the
changes, so there is no need to re-install OS/2 (which he had installed
on C), and Win 95 can be installed on the empty primary partition just
created on the first hard drive. If the partition sizes on the first
hard disk need changing PartitionMagic (commercial) will allow changing
them.

But Brent has things installed, and didn't want to start over. If
complete reinstall is acceptable, then they apply.
