    possibly, if you get a bootable windows 95 CD. I would guess, you have to have two partitions, and install MS-DOS 6.22 on each of them, but only put 95 on one of them.

    Before asking question, I recommend to use google search.

    Primary Partition : MS-DOS

    Windows 95 can dual-boot with MSDOS 6.22 (the "previous version of MSDOS" feature) if the boot partition (the partition set active by FDISK) is formatted as FAT16 or BIGFAT16, not FAT32. Neither DOS, nor Windows need to reside on the boot partition, only their system files, so it can be small.

    OP: Is your boot partition FAT32? If not, does it contain files named IO.DOS, MSDOS.DOS, COMMAND.DOS?
