Setting up Linux with MS.

Try the first one... Its the first hard drive, 5th and 6th partition... Right?

EDIT: Dont forget to indent (TAB) for the 2nd and 3rd lines of each thing :)

Take note of what d0m1n10n said m$ OS's have no respect for other operating systems.

I concur with smirc, just remember to make the first partition the /boot partition. LILO doesn't like anything else. I am not all that familiar with GRUB although I have only recently started playing with it. I still prefer LILO at the moment.

I currently have my Laptop dual booted with RH 7.1 and Win2K using LILO as my boot loader.

some cd burning software for linux.



eroaster
g(gnome)toaster
xcdroast

also check http://freshmeat.net for others.

it would never work if u install linux first.. (one lesson i learned hahah)

coz if u do install linux first.. it will never boot up to LILO.. it will just load up windows..

What is the config file you use?

These commands dont work
title Windows 2000
rootnoverify (hd0,5)
chainloader +1

I need it for red hat 7.2. I tried to search Redhat.com and couldnt find anything.

actually, linux will work if you edit your windows boot.ini to include linux, and linux should be installed in the first 4 GB of the HD if you have an older bios.

ok, this is what i would do...
first off, it would be much simpler to use partition magic to create your partitions, from there install XP, then NT2K, and finally RH. Use LILO or GRUB for a boot manager.
Slight problem - your partition sizes are inefficient

-Good Luck, this might be a little hard for a n00b

I'm with sOnic on this one

The windows comes first

the linux is best kept on second partition

then lilo in MBR works like a charm (4 me)
