RE: [PLUG] Lilo / 1024 sector problem (dual boot)
|
Sorry, what I meant to say was that Windows200 Professional (atleast on my
system) doesn't come up with a boot loader menu which lets me select an OS
to go to (which I know was standard in both NT 4.0 server and Workstation).
If there were possibly a way for me to get the menu to appear, then maybe I
could point it to the win9x/ME boot on my second hard drive....

Yes, there is a boot loader in use; the Windows boot loader. The Win2k
boot loader works in the same manner as NT4's. This means that the Win2k
boot loader needs to be the boot loader in charge.

This may be a false assumption; I don't know, I haven't even looked at
WinME. There is a HOWTO (or a mini one) on both setting up a WinNT/Linux
dual boot and setting up a WinNT/Win9x/Linux multi-boot (I think). Treat
Win2k as WinNT. I don't know if you should treat WinME as WinNT or Win9x.
I would strongly recommend that you take a little time to understand the
WinNT boot process. Most any book covering WinNT server or workstation
administration should cover it.

No, I don't hear voices in my head;
I'm the one that tells the voices in your head what to say.
