RE: [PLUG] Dual booting problem (RH 7.2/grub)
|
If it's WinNT/2K you can boot up off a floppy then tweak the boot.ini file,
assuming that's the problem.
You can use Partition Magic (Grub?) to hide some of the partitions from
Windows, possibly putting the C: and D: and E: back where it wants it.
You might be able to run a repair or an 'update' reinstall of windows to fix
it...

==> I installed RH 7.2 on a PC with an existing windows installation.
==> During the installation, I had grub installed in the MBR.
==>
==> This machine has two physical drives. hda (1 gb) is the windows c:
==> boot drive. It contains all of the windows system files. hde (40 gb)
==> is an ata/100 drive. It has two windows partitions and all of the
==> linux partitions.
==>
==> Linux is the default boot and boots fine at that. Windows will not
==> boot. the message is "not a system disk. remove and install a boot
==> disk, etc. . . ."
==>
==> I assume that writing to the MBR confused windows ability to boot, and
==> have the feeling that the solution is simple. Nothing about it in the
==> books I have been using. Any suggestions.
