Ok, I figured it out (kind of).. I used an old version of Partition Magic,
and made two primary partitions. Then I used BSL (a cardware bootloader)
and had it hide the second partition when starting DOS, and hide the first
when starting windows (originally I had DOS 6, and that was in one
partition on an old drive.. I was going to put DR on my new one, along
with 95).

But now that I've got win95 installed, is it safe to unhide the other
primary partition? I read that DOS-based OSes treat the first primary
partition as C:, which means 95 would not work if I unhid the first
primary partition.. is that right?
