Where can I get free software that lets me partition my 2nd hard disk to run Win95?

out of curiosity, why would you ever want to run windows 95?
if you have a windows 95 installation disc, it should format the drive for you.

I want to run my old old programs on a disk that I use for storage, so I have to create a separate partition.

well, if you're using a separate physical drive, you don't need anything special to format. just use the disc.
be sure to set the jumpers right and set your motherboard to let you choose which drive or O/S to boot from.

he's not trying to find info about his pc, he's trying to set it up to let him choose between operating systems.

Yeah, my bad - I read it as "how can I tell what processor I have?"
Sorry sawbg, ignore my posts.

Lmfao.
Btw, sawbg, what are you trying to "tell" the processor? If you set the jumpers right your computer will automatically find them as seperate drives.

you still need some way to choose which drive to boot, though. either a bios option or some kind of program.

Windows 95 will use the FAT32 partition format. Your Windows XP is most likely on NTFS...though it could have been installed on a FAT32 (most OEMs did that).
Since you're going to be installing an older version of Windows after you've installed XP, it will more than likely hose your XP boot process. In order to avoid that...it's always best to install the older OS first. That way, the newer OS will take over the boot process and allow you to choose the OS you want at boot up.
However, there is a long way around this. Get a second, smaller drive for Windows 95. You can easily use the BIOS to choose which drive to boot from, which can be a pain in the butt.
When I want to test other OSes...we have one comp here with the drives on rails, so I just either replace the drive, or simply switch the IDE cables to the drive I want to boot from.
