Win 95 and Win 95 OSR2 on same hard drive

I recently created two partitions on my hard drive, formatted one FAT16 and added Win 95.  I then used the boot disk from Win 95 OSR2 to format the other partition FAT32 but when I tried to install OSR2 to it I got an error.  It said "Error SU-0013.  Setup could not create files on your startup drive and cannot set up Windows.  Is there any way to get Win 95 and Win 95 OSR2 on the same hard drive and be able to choose which one you want to boot to?

Hi,

     I don't think it is possible because both OS's needs to copy files into the primary partition, and the two different formats won't work.   However, there is a utility called partition magic that could do the trick.  Go to the URL below to learn more.

Hi,

    There is another questionn in the windows 95 general section that was similar to your so i did some research about dual booting between different versions of windows.  And i found nothing to suggest the possibility of doing so.  So this is my opinion on dual booting windows:

You cannot at this time.
You should be able to setup a "dual boot" for BOTH systems.  I have seen combinations containing Win95 V.X, Unix, DOS, WinNT.

I won't bother to ask WHY you want to have 2 versions of WIN95?? :)

The esiest way is to use System Commander.
