Greetings,
Currently, I am running primarily Debian Linux (unstable), but I have a
160MB bootable MS-DOS partition that I am using for one or two MS-DOS
programs that don't have Linux counterparts (such as AutoCad).
My DOS setup does have some problems, however. Because I've paid much more
attention to the Linux-side of my system, I haven't upgraded the DOS
side when I got new hardware. MS-DOS can't talk to my SCSI CD-ROM
drive, nor my sound card, nor my SCSI ZIP drive, etc.
I was thinking of upgrading my MS-DOS setup to a Windows95 setup, but I
have some concerns. To me, maintaining the working Linux setup is
-most- important. If I can't do that, then I will forgo Win95.
All of the Linux+Win95 documentation I have talks about adding Linux to
a working Win95 setup. I'm interested in doing the reverse. I have
heard that Win95 likes to play around with the MBR and partition tables
to make sure that it is the only or primary OS on the system. How can I
make certain that I don't lose anything critical when installing it?
Has anyone else done this? What can I expect?
