WIN2K AND REDHAT DUAL BOOT
hi

I have 2 hardisks - lets call them HDA and HDB. I have win2k already running on HDA and then i tried to install Redhat 7.0 on HDB. Redhat installed fine but when i tried to boot win2k from LILO it said "MISSING NTLDR" . SO, i rebooted win2k using the win2k prof. CD, chose REPAIR and used the "CONSOLE" repair oprion and then typed FIXMBR, which allowed me to boot my win2k but now LILO is missing!

So the problem im having is that i can load one OS or the other but not two together ideallly i DONT WANT LILO but I woudl like Windows 2000 boot menu to choose from.

can someone plz help me


thanks alot

I just installed Mandrake 8 for a friend and lilo boots Win2000 with no problems, it must be either a config problem or a RedHat issue. Anyways you need to copy loadlin into your c:\ partition and then edit your boot.ini file so you get a menu option to boot Linux.

dude i dont have a boot.ini !! this is the problem

To view boot ini you need to go
Control Panels> Folder Options > View
then uncheck both show hidden files andd folders + Hide protected system files.
then go to your main drive and you should see the file.

If you don't already know this

CropA - thanks alot...how Dump of me!

ok i have boot.ini, HDA = win2k, HDB = linux but i cant boot into linux so can i make an entry into boot.ini so that i have the win2k boot menu to select which OS i want to boot up from??
