Thanks, but I'm still not very clear. The situation is: I install the FBSD on my MASTER disk with Easy Boot Mgr option. Win95 is installed on the SLAVE disk without Easy Boot Mgr option. At this time, I can only boot from FBSD when both of these 2 disks is connected to the machine, can't switch to boot from Win95. Is it necessary to install the Easy Boot Mgr option on my slave disk? Will it work? U know if it ruins the Win95 data on the SLAVE disk, I have to backup the Win95 data and system and reinstall the 95 and my data files. > If you install it on both hard disks it would allow you to multi-boot > different OS's on EACH disk.

What do u mean "leave the Win95 disk untouched"? Do I have to reinstall the Win95 on the Master and FBSD on the Slave so that it's possible dual booting? Thank u.
