Advice from an expert needed!

|
| I have given a pal of mine an oldish PC that I have setup anew with Windows
XP and some bells&whistles. It works fine. BUT there is some s/w (MIDI
Audio) that he has on his old Win95 (yes 95!) PC he wishes to keep the
functionality
of.
My question is this: is there a utility or a FREE way of getting the new PC
to
multi-boot between the H/D containing WinXP and the other separate H/D
containing Win95 (without using the BIOS to do it each time). I need to
retain separate hard drives, but if I can get both living together
in the same chasis (the one I gave him) it'll make life easier (assuming I
can get Win95 drivers for the hardware).
Cheers all.
Andy.

| Get a removable drive bay. Then just swap the hard drives whenever you need
to.
