I don't know where you saw that W95/98/ME do not allow for multiple booting,
but that is not correct. It is quite easy to multi-boot these operating
systems, using a boot manager such as the one that Ron mentioned.

BootitNG is shareware. You can use it for a trial period of 30 days. If,
during that time you decide you don't want to continue using it, simply
delete it. If you do continue to use it, you must register it and obtain a
full licence.

BootitNG is a very reliable product. There are many other boot managers
available.

Thanks Ron, for the info. I finally found on Microsoft
where 95,98,ME do not allow for multiple booting with each
other.

Will the tryout version of Bootit allow me to make
permanent configurations on my system as I mentioned?

Is it risky?

I tried installing a second Windows to a different
directory, but now cannot run the original configuration.

All I can find is help on dual booting with diff Ops.

To dual boot as you want to do you will need to use a
third party Boot
Manager program such as BootIt Next Generation from
www.bootitng.com

Good luck
