   Suggest you go to Google.com, select Groups, then enter "dual boot xp   
   win95" in the Search option.  That will give you a lot of ideas.   
      
   My first question is - how old is the PC?  If it is less than 3-4   
   years, then you could find it very difficult to get drivers that work   
   with Win95.
