This problem exists with both Windows 95 and 98. However there is a way around. First of all you have to create and format FAT-16 or FAT-32 partition for Windows 95/98 on the second disk. Then you have to reboot computer and in BIOS setup swap first and second hard drives or simply disable your first hard drive. After that you can boot computer with Windows 95 setup floppy and install Windows. After Windows will be configured you have to reenable your first hard disk in BIOS setup. Then run Partition Manager and go to the second disk, install boot manager and change in the FAT-16/32 boot sector drive number from 128 to 129. (To get into the boot sector configuration select partition and press Enter). When you will boot Windows from the second disk make sure that all primary FAT partitions on the first disk are hidden. (It can be configured automatically with Advanced Boot Manager).
