As far as I know, 95 MUST be on the C drive. IE: if you want to have dual boot, the master drive should be bootable in 95 (this means that the system files on C drive must be 95).

Anyway, you may want to use only the big drive. Using 2 drives makes both drives slower. When there's a big difference between the 2 drives, the difference in performance is higher for the bigger one...

>My next step is to install Windows NT. When I pass the first part of the NT installation, (which is long process of copying the files to the hard drive), the system/installation wants to reboot. When it reboot I get a choice of Windows 95 or Windows NT/upgrade. This still makes sense to me. At this point I still want to continue my NT installation, so I select NT upgrade. After this point the system halts saying NON BOOTABLE DEVICE and it displays me a list of approx. 25-30 NT system files which it has a problem with, and I cannot continue. I've repeated the process several times, and still the same thing.
