[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 1017448, member: 325666"] Latest update .. Still not got a fully functioning win95 as yet .. The driver CD wont install on anything pre win 98 ..so have to do this bit manually ..and carefully.. So far only chipset driver in is for the onboard LAN ..but it is working.. Nonetheless that patch I applied last night plus the memory cap restriction ..IS allowing me to boot into win95 with 2gb of memory installed on the mobo .. Installed on a 32gb Fat32 partition at the front of a 200gb IDE drive.. Also .. I have now got Win2000 and XPpro on a 500gb hard drive 1st and second partitions respectively.. 100gb for Win2000 and 150gb for XPpro .. So loads of space for other OS .. I'm waiting on another 500gb IDE to put 98SE on which will also be the first partition (32gb fat32) Both win95 and 98SE appear to need to be the first bootable logical drive partition .. Whereas Win2000 and or XPpro dont really mind which partition they are on.. Not installed GAG yet as this will hopefully be the final act when all OS are built. I'm gobsmacked I got this far ..and it has been a very time consuming venture.. I'm taking RAW images of each drive after any major changes ..as a go back point..in case it all goes t!ts up.. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
