I'm trying to install win 95b as a second OS on my new XP home machine.
I'm using partition magic 7.0 to create the primary drive and have so far had zero luck. I'm also using a startup disk from bootdisk.com [via this site]. The software does not seem to directly be the problem as the errors I get appear to relate to hardware.
When I try and install win 95b from the CD it hangs up detecting hardware. On the second attempt [in safe mode] it installs but when it tries to start it hangs up and refers to an 'IOS' error.
I'm completely lost!
