If you set up more than one primary partition, only one can be active at a time, and this is probably why it's hiding the Win95 partition when the NTFS partition is active.

You need to set up the Win95 partition as the Active primary partition, and install NT on a logical drive of an Extended partition to make this work. You would not need the PQ boot manager to do this. Install Win95 first on the primary partition, use Partition Magic to create and format an NTFS partition out of the Extended partition (if the NTFS partition is >4GB, you have to use PM to do this; NT's installer will work fine to create smaller volumes,) Install NT to the NTFS partition, and let it set up its loader and boot manager on the drive that host Win95. You can rearrange the drive letter assignments with Disk Administrator after NT has started.
