This is probably wishing for outlandishly too much Charles, but does SR2 
migrate NT 4.0's desktop and program settings?
Just to note to the originator of this thread, it's no problem dual booting 
any version of NT with any version of Windows 95 or DOS on the same FAT 
formatted hard drive if the hard drive is first setup with Windows 95 or DOS 
and you install Windows NT -last-. It's when you try to install Windows 95a 
or DOS over Windows NT that you encounter problems. Understandibly, I don't 
think MS ever considered DOS or Windows 95a as an "upgrade" to Windows NT, 
hence never saw any reason to put the code in to allow one to install DOS or 
Win95a as a dual boot over NT. Maybe by allowing SR2 to be installed over NT, 
their marketing feels that more people will be inclined to give NT a try and 
evolve to it as thier main operating system.
If you install DOS, and then Upgrade to Windows 95, preserving the original 
DOS allowing W95 to let you choose it with F8, you can run DOS X.XX, Windows 
95 and Windows NT from the same FAT formatted hard drive if you think you 
really -need- to. The windows NT boot manager will allow you to choose NT or 
the Windows/DOS system (depending on the version), when you choose to load 
Windows 95, if you want to run DOS X.XX, you then wack F8 and pick DOS from 
W95's boot menu. Not as serindiptous as it sounds and it works fine.
