Control Panel, System, Advanced

Where it says Startup and Recovery, click Settings.  Click the Edit button.  In there, 
you can add your Win95 partition to the start menu.

If you're not exactly sure how to do this, I think I've figured it out to a degree...I 
don't have two hard drives anymore, so I haven't played around with the multiple 
disk capability.

Just remember that 0 = first drive, 1 = 2nd drive, and so on, but from what I've 
found out, partition 1 is just that...partition 1. :)

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WIN95\="Windows95" /fastdetect

Hope this helps!!!
