Ok, the first thing people are going to say is get rid of windows,
unfortunately that isn't an option here. Whats even worse is what I had
to do to my linux box.<br>
I needed w2k on a box fast and it had to be a good box. It also had to be
one of my boxes so my linux box was selected.<br>
Here is the partioning before i started<br>
MBR<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>lilo<br>
hda1<x-tab> </x-tab>8Mb<x-tab> </x-tab>/boot<br>
hda3<x-tab> </x-tab>2Gb<x-tab> </x-tab>/<br>
hda5<x-tab> </x-tab>1.8Gb<x-tab> </x-tab>/home<br>
hdb1<x-tab> </x-tab>512Mb<x-tab> </x-tab>/win<x-tab> </x-tab>(win98)<br><br>
It is now like this<br>
MBR<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>W2k<br>
hda1<x-tab> </x-tab>8Mb<x-tab> </x-tab>Windows
2000 boot<br>
hda3<x-tab> </x-tab>2Gb<x-tab> </x-tab>/<br>
hda5<x-tab> </x-tab>1.8Gb<x-tab> </x-tab>Windows
2000<br>
hdb1<x-tab> </x-tab>512Mb<x-tab> </x-tab>/home<br><br>
I started the install after moving my /home partion and testing that it
worked. I then deleted the old home partion and created the windows 2000
partion on hda5. It was then i was told it need the 8Mb boot partion as
well. By this stage it had wrecked my MBR so I booted into Knoppix and
moved ha1 /boot to hda3 /boot, (put it on the / filesystem)<br>
Then I installed w2k<br>
I now need to work out a way to dual boot it. I have done this before
with W2k and Linux (Debian) but I installed w2k first. This wasn't an
option this time.<br>
I don't want to install Debian again.<br>
Here are some thoughts i had
<ul>
<li>boot with a Knoppix CD and possibly install lilo from there
<li>Use Windows boot loader
<li>reinstall deb
</ul>Any suggestions that aren't "remove windows" would be
appreciated, i would probably like lilo back as i know that it can boot
w2k.<br>
Thanks<br>
