How do I install Win95 with Win98 on the same PC with only one hard drive?

I have students that study Win95 and Win98 and not enough PCs to run them on seperate machines.

You cannot install both Windows 95 and Windows 98 in a multiple-boot configuration. Windows 98 is intended as an upgrade to Windows 95 and it will try to use the same boot file.
The above came directly from Microsoft. Third party software like System Commander or possibly Partition Magic may solve your problem.

Use Partition Magic to create two primary partitions on the drive, leaving whatever OS is already on the drive in the first partition. Set the second partition as Active and install the other OS. Then use Bootmagic (it comes with Partition Magic) tosetup up a menu so users can pick which OS they want to use. As part of the boot process, users will be asked to choose an OS.
