dear all,
i created a linux/win2k dual boot and kept lilo as my bootloader. a
search on google shows that this is possible. linux boots fine, but
win2k doesn't boot from lilo. here's how i created the dual boot:
1. system already had linux on hda and hdb
2. unplugged hda and hdb completely.
3. installed a new hdc.
3. installed win2k on hdc.
4. plugged hda and hdb back in.
5. added this to lilo.conf and ran lilo:
other=/dev/hdc1
label=win2k
6. linux boots fine.
7. whenever i boot "win2k", i get:
boot: win2k
loading win2k
A disk error occured
Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to restart
other info
==========
* fdisk shows only one partition, of type NTFS, on hdc as expected.
* fdisk shows linux partitions on hda and hdb as expected.
* "mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/other" correctly mounts my C drive.
* i did not enable NTFS write in the kernel.
any suggestions on how to boot win2k from lilo?
thanks,
pete
