I have Windows XP for my operating system and most all my games run fine(excluding Transport Tycoon). Does anyone know where I can find a decent Win95/98 Dos boot disk?

Try putting windows 95 on the computer in a different folder and try to find a program that will allow multiple boot modes

Or...

goto www.bootdisk.com

Cheers

You need to partition, then install 9x(98 is HIGHLY reccommended), then recover XP. There was a guide to do this without a CD, but I lost the site.

I wouldn't bother boot disk. Why?
1) You may need an NTFS Driver for DOS
2) There is little memory available
3) You need to reconfigure Autoexec, Config.sys, etc. EMM386 isn't usually included, so thats a huge problem.
