How do you want it partitioned.
There are two free ways, both involve OS2 boot manager.
1. install boot manager
2. Decide if you want each OS to see the others partition.
3. if the answer is yes then make a logical partition and install OS2 on
it. win95 would remain on your C drive. OS2 would be on drive D: E: F:
or whatever. Hook both OS to the boot manager menu.
4. if you want each OS hidden from each other then install them both on
a primary partition on the same disk. A single disk can only have one
active primary partition, the others are hidden by default. Boot
manager can make each one the active one from it menu. Both OS will
appear to be on a. C drive and each will be hidden from each other.
Optionally you could use this method without boot manager. You could
just keep a copy of DOS on a floppy along with FDISK. Boot from floppy
and use FDISK to make the appropriate OS partition the active one. The
FDISK method has always worked. I used to use it before OS2 to keep
multiple versions of DOS on a single disk.
