Scandalous,

Well, if you want to install windows 95 over a linux , then your grub/lilo linux boot laoder will be destroyed. I think you need linux boot floppy to fix the Master Boot Record. I would recommend installing windows first ,and then linux for safety.

But if you can't go ahead and install windows 95 first and then linux , then you need to do a MBR restore after the windows installation.

Before installing, you have to create partitions [fat ...and does 95 support fat32?:rolleyes: ] . http://archive.ubuntulinux.org/ubunt...en/apas05.html
Above is a link to partition using ubuntu.

Otherwise, you can connect your HDD as slave to some other system and use PM or any other partition magic to create windows partitions.
