Dual Boot Win98 with Win95

I'm working with a computer that I'm trying to get to dual boot Win98 with Win95, but I can't do it. Every time I try to install Windows 98, it keeps telling me that I already have an installed OS.

I have my drive in 2 partitions as I'm supposed to, and in DOS, I used a command to save temporary setup files to the other drive that I want Win98 on (the D: drive), but even with that, it still gives me the message that there's already an OS, when I'm installing on a BLANK partition. Somehow it thinks that I want to install on the C: drive and not the D: drive.

How do I override this, and what else should I know to dual boot these OSes?

Its been a really long time since I have installed Win95, BUT I do know that when ever installing another OS with Win98 always install 98 first. I am unsure if Win95 will yell at you for already having an OS instlled or not.

You may want to use a bootloader like Partition Magic's product. I'm not sure that 98 ever supported a dual boot option. I know we used to be able to do DOS and 3.1 by modifiying the autoexec.bat file and telling it to display a menu selection..but that was long ago.
