Drive Partitioning.

I want to partition my drive.... one part for XP and one for Win95 (hopefully this will allow me to rip ROMs from my N64 cart... NO I DON'T PUT THEM ON THE INTERNET ILLEGALY! I just like to play on emulators.) But I was wondering... can I specify how much space on the drive goes to each OS? and how?

Give WinXP most of it, and Win95 2GB - no more should be necessary. In fact, I'd say, 1 to 1.5 GB.

Well, there's plenty of free partition editors out there. In Win95 and Win98 you can create a boot disk, boot it, and run FDISK, or you can use Windows XP setup to create NTFS, then leave the 2GB unpartitioned, then use FDISK to partition the rest. Or you can use Windows XP Compatibility Mode...

You can also do what I did and just install a second hard drive, and then install one OS on each. This only works, though, if you can choose in the BIOS settings which drive to boot from.
