    I'm pretty sure you can. I think i've done this before, but it was with win ME and win 2k.

    Just install windows 95 as usual, but make sure you make a partion for win XP, then install win XP on that partion and when you boot the PC it'll ask which windows you want to boot.

    I think you need special software to split a partion without killing everything on it

    I have heard that you need 2 Harddrives.
    One for 95 and one for XP.

    not 2 harddrives just 2 partitions.
    Just get a program like Partition Magic Pro, with that you can make a new partition on your hd, and then you can install another OS on that partition if you wish, be that win 95, win 98, win ME (though I can't understand why anyone wants this one...), another install of win XP, linux, and so on.....
    just be sure that you don't have 2 OS' on the same partition as they probably will start "arguing". Just trust me when I say have them on seperate partitions

    Official line from microsoft.

    To Dual boot with microsoft products you need to install them in order of date otherwise the bootloader will screw up.

    If you have a good pc you can also try installing win95 in a virtual pc. This way you don't need to make partitions and you can run win95 inside winxp.

    Well, Windows and Linux I'm not sure if you can dual boot but I know for a fact you can dual boot with 95 and XP just make sure to install 95 first. (its the easier way) My Q is why would you want to. U can make XP act (pretend) like 95 if there is a older program you need to run and its not compatable with XP. If you dont know how to do that ask the A+ Tech (ME)

    EDIT: alomst forgot to the above.....You DON'T need any new programs or 2 harddrives to do this. You just need to put them on seprate partitions.
