I have DOS, Windows95 and NT installed, and want them all to show on the boot menu.

A. You need a handy utility called bootpart, which creates multiple operating .sys files enabling DOS and Windows 95 to be shown on the boot menu:
Create an Emergency Repair Disk! (RDISK /s)
Reboot the machine and boot into windows95
When "Starting Windows95" is displayed press F8
Select option 8 to boot to previous version of DOS
Once in DOS goto where you unzipped bootpart.zip and type
BOOTPART DOS622 c:BOOTSECT.622 "MS-DOS 6.22"
BOOTPART WIN95 c:BOOTSECT.W95 "Windows 95"
BOOTPART REWRITEROOT:C:Edit the boot.ini file to remove the old MS-DOS/Windows95 option
attrib c:boot.ini -r -s
edit c:boot.ini and remove c:="MS-DOS"
attrib c:boot.ini +r +sReboot
Be aware that using Bootpart may cause problems if you select "Previous Windows version" from Windows 95.
