How to boot,boot to opendos,or win95,or nt?
which to install first,could you explain that to me.
Previously,i installed opendos after installed win95 and Nt4.0,then
opendos took over the control,i could not get back to win95 or nt
then my HDD got problem,do you think different FAT system could cause
HDD faulty?
Expecting your reply soon.
Thanks
